FERGUS – GSP Group is holding an open house for the public to learn about and provide feedback on a proposed secondary school next to St. Joseph Catholic School on Strathallan Street in Fergus.
The proposal is for a two-storey high school that would connect with the existing one-storey elementary school.
There would also be 105 parking spaces and a soccer/football field on the site.
Last year Centre Wellington council agreed with a request from the Wellington Catholic District School Board and declared the adjacent Strathallan Park surplus so the sale of land could move forward if the Ministry of Education agreed to fund a new school.
The Catholic board has said with growth occurring in Centre Wellington, it’s time for a high school in Centre Wellington.
Currently all Centre Wellington students who attend a Catholic elementary school go to Guelph for high school.
The meeting is slated for May 28 from 6:30 to 7:30pm in Aboyne Hall at the Wellington County Museum and Archives.
There will be time for attendees to review posters and ask questions one-on-one with the project team, organizers say.
There will also be a more formal presentation with an opportunity to ask more questions and provide feedback to the project team.
