It's time to turn visions into realities

Eastern Shore High School Site Selection (October 29th, 2018)

The Musquodoboit Harbour & Area Chamber of Commerce & Civic Affairs (MHACCCA), heading up a coalition effort, today released a major study recommending without reservation that the provincial Department of Education and Early Childhood Development locate the new Eastern Shore High School on a site somewhere in the core of Musquodoboit Harbour.

The study notes that, “The province is projecting that enrollments will be down at the two feeder schools on the western side of the catchment area, O’Connell Drive and Porters Lake,” and “enrollment at Oyster Pond Academy is projected to rise significantly. These projections severely question any rationale for siting the new school further west than it already is. In 10 years, the number of kids riding buses from the east is going to be going up, not down.”

From One East to Another

It’s hard to believe it’s been 3 years since I last visited Heritage village with my family.

Being from the Eastern Passage, my Aunt and Grandmother never truly get the chance to marvel at the sights the Eastern Shore … [Read More...]
