| Submission declined on 4 December 2023 by Tagishsimon (talk). 1. It is still not clear that this is a notable organisation. It kinda feels like it should be, but the references do not support it at the moment.
2. The references need to be inline. Right now you have [1] to [5] lined up undernear the References header. Each of the referenes should be in the body of the article, at the end of the sentence they reference. You need to continue work on both of those. 2 is easy to solve. 1, not so easy. It may be that there are just not the references needed, in which case, no article. If that is the ase, you might consider adding a sentence or two at Ottawa#Education. | |

Comment: Sources are either brief mentions or primary. The book was written by the CIB public relations officer published by the CIB so is also a primary source and not independent (see this). What I suggest is creating a History section at Ottawa Board of Education and including this information there. S0091 (talk) 15:37, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

The Ottawa Collegiate Board (O.C.B) is a former Public Secondary School Board in Ottawa, Ontario up until its amalgamation in 1970. Its main role was to provide secondary education in English to the city. It served the city successfully for 96 years until its amalgamation where it would be merged with other boards.
History[edit]
The Board was founded in 1874 with the opening of Ottawa Collegiate institute[1], it would remain the only high school in Ottawa until the opening of Ottawa Technical High School in 1913.[2] The Ottawa Collegiate Institute would split in two with the split off from their second location (Glebe Collegiate Institute), Ottawa Collegiate Institute was changed to Lisgar Street Collegiate Institute (later shortened to Lisgar Collegiate Institute).
The board's foundation would cement proper secondary education in Ottawa, as it merged with other smaller school boards creating a more uniform, regulated and trusted education system.[3][4] The O.C.B would oversee the construction and erection of many schools throughout the city until its amalgamation with the Ottawa Public Board of Education, The Vanier Board and the Rockcliffe Board in 1970 creating the Ottawa Board of Education. The amalgamation would come as Ontario passed the Fewer School Boards Act.[5]
List of schools[edit]
The O.C.B built many schools throughout the years as the city expanded, here is a list of the first five them.[6]
- Lisgar Collegiate Institute (1843),
- Ottawa Technical High School (1913),
- Glebe Collegiate Institute (1922),
- High School of Commerce (Ottawa) (1929),
- Fisher Park High School (1949),
