About 60 people who want their kids to get a french education in the Kennebecasis Valley turning up for a meeting on interest in a Francophone school. The Parent's lobby group hosting the meeting at the francophone daycare which is almost full to capacity.
Researcher Christina Taylor tells CHSJ News 243 students travel to Samuel Du Champlain every day from the valley with 600 eligible students in the K-V right now. She adds those numbers are higher than the precedent set by the Supreme Court.
The kindergarten class at the Samuel Du Champlain satellite school across from the daycare is full and has a waiting list. The committee was gathering the names of parents interested in helping the school development planning committee provide the government with testimonials on the need for a francophone school in the K.V.
