New School For Grand Bay-Westfield Seen As A Priority

Grand Bay-Westfield is making a full court press to get a new elementary school built in the town. 

Fundy-River Valley M-L-A Dr. Jim Parrot is on board even though he may not have as much influence since leaving the Conservative caucus. 

Mayor Grace Losier tells CHSJ News she believes the town is second on the list but what's being used now is not up to standard with nary a blade of grass for the kids to play on and no way to provide hot lunches.

Losier also points out more young families with children are settling in the town judging by the latest figures from Canadian Mortgage and Housing that show housing values rising by 15 per cent.
