Burlington Central High School

Burlington Central High School is a public middle school and high school in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, in the Halton District School Board. Enrollment was 686 students in September 2008. The current school building was constructed in 1922 and has been added to extensively over the years. The last major addition was made in the 1965, which added a new technical wing and gymnasiums. In 2012 the auditorium was upgraded with new seats and equipment. The school raised funds through community donations and fundraisers. Originally called "Burlington High School", it is the oldest operating high school in Burlington. The longest serving principal, J. M. Bates, started at the school in 1929 and served until 1964. Many B.C.H.S. students fought in the Second World War and are commemorated in the school's War Memorial. Academically, Burlington Central High School was ranked as the #1 high school in Burlington, according to the 2011 Fraser Institute Report. The parents and students of Burlington Central High School mounted a substantial campaign in October 2016 when the Preliminary Report of the Director of Education of the Halton District School Board made the recommendation to close Burlington Central High School along with Lester B. Pearson High School. The #CentralStrong campaign rallied the support of families and businesses, local media, and gathered reams of information to substantiate the financial and community costs of closing Burlington's downtown high school.. In the Director's final report, the recommendation to close BCHS was dropped, and in May 2017 following a "Program Accessibility Review Committee" process, the Board's trustees voted instead to close Lester B. Pearson and Robert Bateman High Schools .

Burlington Centre

Burlington Centre (formerly known as Burlington Mall) is a 721,000 square feet (67,000 m2) shopping mall located in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. It is one of the two enclosed malls in Burlington, Ontario, the other being the Mapleview Centre. The stores at Burlington Centre include Hudson's Bay, Homesense, Old Navy and Winners. It has two floors, the upper floor covers the wing leading to the food court, the floor above the food court area, and the second floor of Hudson's Bay. The Hudson's Bay store gained national media attention in 2021 for its Zellers pop-up shop.The mall was developed by Cambridge Leasoholds and opened its doors in October 1968. It was a 60-store complex anchored by Simpsons-Sears, Dominion, G.W Robinson and Famous Players. Sears sold its store lease and fixtures to The Bay which took over the location on August 14, 1991. In 1995, the Hudson's Bay Company bought the Robinson's chain and transferred the location at Burlington Mall to its Zellers subsidiary since there was already The Bay in the mall. Zellers eventually closed on September 17, 2012, and was replaced by Target Canada which opened on March 19, 2013. After Target closed itself in early 2015, its space was divided for a Denninger’s grocery retailer and relocated stores of Winners, Indigo and Starbucks stores.Burlington Centre is located at the intersections of Guelph Line, Fairview and Prospect Streets, south of the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW). The mall is owned by RioCan Management Inc., and was owned until mid-2011 by Ivanhoe Cambridge.
