French Catholic school board buys a property to get action going on a new school
Quote:
The Hamilton area’s French Catholic school board is hoping the purchase of land for a new high school on the southeast Mountain will help break an impasse with the province over funding for its construction.
Board chair Melinda Chartrand said trustees took the “extraordinary” step of tapping $5.6 million in reserves to buy a 3.8-hectare property on Broughton Avenue from the Hamilton public board to try to move the project along.

Over the past two years, the school on the Mountain has been trying to get a new high school with facilities that are lacking at the current location, which is a former elementary school.
