never seen these in my life in canada. huh

Grew up in a town that experienced a flood of new residential developments and schools that couldn't keep up with capacity. So for several years, until new schools were finished being built to serve the influx of new families, these would show up to increase capacity.
If you lived somewhere that hasn't had any real change in population size for several decades, these probably aren't present.
