Despite a petition from the community to keep Holy Redeemer Catholic School open (recently renamed Father Fénelon Catholic School), it closed in favour of consolidating the students with Our Lady of the Bay school. The school is being demolished to make way for a housing project.
I like your shot through the chain link fence Andy.
ReplyDeleteAlways sad to see a demolition, people mostly loose their battle when some prestigious project has to be built....
ReplyDeleteIndeed looking through a fence has a strange sort of attraction to every child between 3 and 80.
ReplyDeleteThat track hoe can make short work of removing those buildings and cleaning up the site. Will be interesting to see what is next on this spot.
ReplyDeleteAnd, when the families move into that housing project, they will be looking for schools for their kids.
ReplyDeleteOnce they get started, it doesn't take long to tear it down.
ReplyDeleteNice composition through the fence, Andy!
ReplyDeleteIt is always difficult to see well-loved and traditional places changed and often demolished.d
ReplyDeleteProgress....or so many say.
ReplyDeleteGood blurred fence and crisp clear background.
ReplyDeleteMore housing needed obviously but interesting the school has merged with another.
It is sad when old buildings are demolished, specially when the community are against it.
