Land Bought In K-V For New Francophone School

The land has been bought by the province........The sign is up and it's just a matter of time before a new French school is built in the Kennebecasis Valley for 300 students from kindergarten through grade 5.

The province has bought a parcel of land just down from the Pettingill and Quispamsis Roads for the new school.

Gilles Bourque chairs the Francophone South School District and he tells CHSJ News this will be good for the town of Quispamsis to attract even more residents.

The new french language school is expected to be ready by September of 2014.

Right now, 67 francophone students are attending a satellite school on the Pettingill Road. Other children, as young as five, are making the trek to Samuel de Champlain for kindergarten and Bourque maintains that's not a good thing for them.
