On December 18th 2018 Council received a report from CAO, Typhany Choinard in regards to the school. The report outlined many infrastructure issues with the school property. It identified that $3 million dollars in facility repairs are required in order to bring the facility to standard. It also identified asbestos at the property. The recommendation from the CAO was to not submit an expression of interest on the school property.
Council received the report and passed the following motion “That Council defer the decision to the January 15th, 2019 meeting and direct staff to provide further information from the Building Department, Economic Development Department and Treasury.
Council also directed staff to organize a roundtable discussion with members of the community to learn the community’s position on submitting an expression of interest on the potential purchase of the Earl Prentice School.
Review the School Surplus Roudtable Presentation by clicking the button below.
The discussion tonight began with an equal number of residents on either side of the issue. Some felt strongly about purchasing the property while others were against council submitting an expression of interest for the Earl Prentice School. By the end of the presentation, and subsequent discussion, many of the people who had previously been in support changed their opinion. Two of the 18 participants were in support of fully moving forward. While others were still open to the idea of entering the expression of interest as there is no obligation to buy.
The participants invited to the roundtable were impressed with the quality and quantity of information provided. Many commented on how much better educated they felt following the meeting.
Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm
Saturday 9:00 am to 12:00 pm
The change equates to the same number of operating hours. The decision to open earlier was made to accommodate customers trying to see us first thing in the morning.

NOTICE OF COMPLETION
Marmora Water Supply – Class Environmental Assessment
The standpipe serving the Village of Marmora is at the end of its useful life and requires substantial repairs or replacement. Some areas of the village have lower than desired water pressure owing to the height of the existing tower. In order to correct these issues, the Municipality has reviewed several options and concluded that a new, larger, standpipe will be erected at the present site and the existing standpipe removed. This project will ensure adequate water supply to the village of Marmora including projected population growth.
This study was carried out in accordance with the requirements for a Schedule “B” Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA). The planning and decision-making process (including consultation with the public and review agencies, assessment of environmental impacts of alternative solutions, and identification of the preferred solution) has been completed and the project file is available for review. For more information or to provide comments please email one of the following project contacts by November 23, 2018:

Legion Branches and communities will host commemorative ceremonies and special activities to help Canada Remember. At sunset on November 11, the bells will ring at Parliament Hill, city halls, places of worship, military bases, Naval vessels and at ceremonies across the country to honour Canada's Veterans and commemorate the end of the First World War.
On November 11, 1918 church bells rang out spontaneously across the country to celebrate the signing of the “Armistice.” After four brutal years and so many young men and women dead or injured, the First World War was officially over.
One hundred years ago today, relief and joy swept our land. And as we commemorate Armistice 100 tonight, we mark the occasion through this Royal Canadian Legion Bells of Peace ceremony.
On November 11th our bells will toll 100 times. With each peal, we will remember the close to 66-thousand Canadians and Newfoundlanders at that time, who were killed in the First World War the 172-thousand wounded and the countless others who suffered invisible yet painful wounds.
We also remember the total number of Canadians who served our country during that war – over 650 thousand people. Marmora Legion Branch 237 honours them all. At the setting of the sun, we promise them and their descendants that we will never forget their sacrifices.
Listed below are the Marmora and area soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in World War One:
