SOD TURNING FOR NEW LUNENBURG SCHOOL

A sod turning for the new school in Lunenburg will go ahead this morning.


South Shore school board, municipal and provincial officials will be on hand at the site of the former junior-senior high to officially launch construction on the new Bluenose Academy.

The new school, when completed in January 2012, will bring together grades primary to 9 students from Riverport and District School, Centre Consolidated, Lunenburg Junior High and Lunenburg Academy.

It will also be one of the most technically-advanced and environmentally-friendly buildings in the province.
