On January 9, the Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario (CSCNO) presented during a public meeting the feasibility study and evaluation of the various French language Catholic school site options for its school communities in Val Thérèse (École Ste-Thérèse) and Hanmer (École St-Joseph and École Notre-Dame).

The CSCNO evaluated eleven school site options on existing sites and a new site. The selected option, either a construction or a modernization project, is conditional to the CSCNO’s securing funding from the Ministry of Education.

The feasibility study is available online at: www.nouvelon.ca/faisabilite/hanmer/valtherese.pdf

The CSCNO encourages the school communities to share their opinion and submit comments by January 31. Comments can be relayed to the principals at École St-Joseph, École Ste-Thérèse and École Notre-Dame or by email at  .
