St. Vincent says the school and daycare will be constructed in the... northeast end of the community within a new development by Caledonia Road.

St. Vincent is still recovering from the excitement of a new grocery store announcement made last month by Clearview Co-op.

“It’s been several years that council has been working with Co-op to try to make this work,” said St. Vincent. “Truth is our CAO, Marc Darker and his office staff do a ton of work for development in town so they deserve most of the credit.”

He said credit for the new school needs to be properly given.

“That credit goes to SRSD trustees and their central admin staff, town played a small role in encouraging our MLA Mr. Lagasse but SRSD has been after this for years so they’ve been at it a long time as they saw the need for it,” he credited.

St. Vincent and Bloomfield already have their focus set on their next targets.

According to St. Vincent, the Town needs more daycare spots and have applied for RTM grant and hoping that happens next year as the daycare with the school won’t be ready until 2027 and daycare spaces are required sooner than that. He is also focused on sustainability grants for the community’s recreation complex and working with the development corporation to attract additional businesses to the community with the hope of creating more local employment.

Bloomfield is already looking towards more schools.

“St. Adolphe and Ile des Chenes are definitely on the radar and we have had some very basic discussions with the RMs as to future development plans to try to get a handle on what we may need to anticipate for schools,” she explained. “That being said, we’re also aware that housing starts/sales have slowed down a bit in the past few months. We are, however, keeping a very close eye on the expected growth in these communities.”
