Homes for Sale in Iroquois Ridge North, Oakville

History:

Iroquois Ridge North, also known as Wedgewood Creek, is a young family-oriented neighborhood in northeastern Oakville. The development of this area took place in the 1980s, with some more recent builds. Iroquois Ridge North was once part of the shoreline of the ancient Lake Iroquois, a glacial lake that retreated south to Lake Ontario following the last ice age some 12000 years ago. This shoreline ran from the Peterborough area all the way to the Halton Region. Today, Lake Iroquois remnants can be found in the hilly topography, woodlots, and small creeks and valleys found in this neighborhood. The street names in Iroquois Ridge North provide clues as to what this area would have looked like prior to the residential development that began in the late 1980s. Here are some of those names: Creekwood Trail, Valleybrook Drive, Creekside Drive, Crimson Oak, Pinery Crescent, Clearwater Crescent, Lindenrock Drive, Grandview Drive, Evergreen Crescent, and Bluestream Drive just to name a few.

This neighbourhood would have formerly taken its name from the Iroquois Ridge High School which opened in 1994. The Iroquois Ridge Community Centre was opened a few years later in 2001. These two landmarks really helped to create a sense of community and identity for residents and put this neighbourhood on the map.

St Andrew Catholic ES

Address: 145 Millbank Dr, Oakville, ON L6H 6G3, Canada | Telephone: 905-257-7102

St. Andrew School first opened its doors in September 1999. The Most Reverend Bishop Tonnos officially blessed our school on November 30, 1999, the feast of Saint Andrew. Like his brother Peter, Andrew was a fisherman. Together, Andrew and Peter became the first disciples of Jesus. “‘Come follow me’, Jesus said, ‘and I will make you fishers of men.’” (Matt 4:19) The two brothers did not hesitate, they dropped their nets, and immediately followed Jesus. This calling by Jesus reminds us of our own calling as disciples of Christ. Like our patron before us, we too bring people to Christ by sharing our faith and loving one another. In this way, we share the good news with everyone we meet.

Currently, there are approximately 760 students and 75 staff members at St. Andrew Catholic School. It is the home of many athletes, authors, scientists, public speakers, mathematicians, artists, singers, dancers, and is a certified Gold Eco-School.

St. Andrew Catholic Elementary School, in collaboration with home and parish, is committed to establishing a solid learning foundation rooted in faith empowering our students to reach their unique and full potential by becoming reflective and creative thinkers, compassionate members of society, and stewards of God’s creation.As originally published by St Andrew Catholic ES
