West Valley residents seeking more information about the proposed Francophone secondary school next to École Notre-Dame des Vallées on Quigley Drive are invited to a public information night on June 2.
The session will be held in the gymnasium of École Notre-Dame des Vallées, 132 Quigley Dr., beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Antoine Bégin, communications coordinator for the Conseil scolaire FrancoSud, says the event is an opportunity to learn more about the school and the high school construction project. A presentation will be followed by a Q&A session and discussion.
“Our goal is to answer all questions and address any concerns the community might have,” Bégin said.
The Conseil scolaire FrancoSud says there is an urgent need for a secondary school for students in Grades 7 through 12 in the Cochrane area. The board first approached town administration in late 2023 to identify a potential site.
The information night comes ahead of a non-statutory public hearing on the proposal, scheduled for June 16.
