The Société canadienne-française de Prince Albert (French-Canadian Society of Prince Albert, or SCFPA) was disappointed on Budget Day, April 6, with the lack of provision for a new francophone community school in Prince Albert.
The local Fransaskois community and its partners, which includes seniors groups, the École Valois Parents Council and staff, Métis community members, francophone school board representatives and the Conseil des écoles fransaskoises (CEF) have been working on a viable, realistic and financially solid business plan for the purchase and renovation of Rivier Academy for over two years.
“The message we really want to put through is that the whole French community in Prince Albert is left with this lack of certainty and it’s very frustrating for everyone,” Estelle Hjertaas, president of the SCFPA, explained.
