Demolition crews have begun to pull down the 60 year old Sharbot Lake High School building.
The process began two weeks ago, and this week the demolition crews are working in earnest, removing the walls where the former wood and auto-shops were located.
A letter to parents from Heather Highet, former Principal of Sharbot Lake High and now Principal of the new Granite Ridge Education Centre located just north of the former school, said that the project “is expected to take about 8 weeks.”
“There will be some noise associated with the demolition, but we shouldn't expect any more noise than was experienced during the construction of Granite Ridge,” she said.
As part of the demolition, the removal of some trees behind the old building will be necessary
“Any trees that will be removed will be provided to our forestry program, which can use these trees inn several school projects thanks to a recently acquired sawmill.”
Additional trees are gong to be planted around the property.
