Thanks, I had some trouble reading the article, because of the interface. I also found this, which is an abstract of an article, which I can't link to, since it's not on the public web.

ASTRONAUT REVISITS HIS ALMA MATER IN MILTON PRESENTS NAMESAKE BURSARY TO GRADUATE; [Final Edition] DENIS GIBBONS, SPECIAL TO THE SPECTATOR

Source: The Spectator. Hamilton, Ont.: Oct 16, 1999. pg. N.6

"Seven schools rightfully claim [Chris Hadfield] as an alumnus. Before taking his OAC (Grade 13) year at MDHS in 1977, he spent four years at White Oaks Secondary School in Oakville. Percy Merry School in Milton was his first elementary school in Halton, but he also attended W.H. Morden and Montclair schools in Oakville and King George VI school in Sarnia. ..."
