A now vacant elementary school in Lake Cowichan, B.C., is slated for demolition this year after it was closed for safety reasons.
In 2008, the Town of Lake Cowichan transferred students out of A.B. Greenwell to Yount Elementary due to "environmental conditions" inside the building.Now, some 10 years later, the Cowichan Valley School District says it has secured funding from the province to demolish and remediate the old school site.
Demolition is expected to wrap up at the end of March. The property, which is Crown land, will then be returned to the province.
