New Mennonite School in Huron-Kinloss having setbacks

Because of its close proximity to an existing gravel pit, the Bruce County Planning Committee believes that the construction of the school on Concession 5 should not go ahead.

The committee is concerned that the high amount of truck traffic near the proposed location causes a danger to the children.

The new school is needed to avoid over-crowding on the existing school. Mennonite schools have ideally 15-20 students, however the school being used at this time, has 27 students. That number is expected to grow to 30 within a few years.

Huron-Kinloss supports the idea of the new school.

The Bruce County Planning Committee will review the plans and discuss the idea at a later date.
