It was decided last night that 3 Halifax-area schools moved up for possible closure
I am no sure if this is a good thing, but I have to trust that the correct decision was made. I am not sure why the population is moving around so much when the HRM is growing in population. Where are the people going? If the downtown cores of Halifax and Dartmouth aren’t growing in population, why not? With all talk that we have to go greener, why aren’t more people moving to where they work rather than outside? The excuse that it is too expensive is bull when you figure in how much it costs in money and time to commute. But that is for another day.

“I wasted all my hours that I could have spent with my family going to this to have it ignored,” said Joyce Treen.

I am not sure if you were ignored, rather the decision was that Eastern Passage did not require a High School at this time. That said I am not sure if both a consultant and staff recommendation included a school in the area how the decision was made not to include it. This would be a very good question for Mr. Windsor.

In case you are wondering the three schools slated are Saint Mary’s Elementary, St. Patricks-Alexandra, and Alderney Elementary.
