If you are looking for information about homes in the Yale catchment or have general questions, feel free to contact us below.
Parents want their children to attend Yale for many reasons. The most common reasons that I hear on a regular basis are the basketball problem but mostly because of the Yale Secondary hockey program which is one of the best in the province. This portion of Abbotsford offers many great opportunities including the McMillan pool at the ARC (Abbotsford Rec Center) and a large skateboarding and rollerblading park. There is a close-by strip mall for shopping and many baseball diamonds. It is a great place to raise your family.
