the school system adapts to the expected increase in the number of people who will be moving to the community to work at the new hospital once it’s up and running. “We’re looking at an employment workforce of another three to four hundred people working at the hospital and they’re coming here with their families,” he muses. “So, we need to start thinking now of how we are going to accommodate those families in our school system because right now, we are pretty much at capacity.” Angela focuses on the positive and sees more good things to come: “We’re kind of ahead on most things that happen in our school to support literacy, numeracy, and well-being,” she states. “Everyone’s on board and we’re getting so much traction and forward momentum. There’s a great learning culture up here, K-12.We have got the best possible learning structures for better outcomes for students. So, it’s exciting.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER nOntario Northland www.ontarionorthland.ca Ontario Northland offers transportation services that connect people to healthcare, education, and recreation all across Ontario.
