Statement from Mayor Dan Bobbett on Meeting with Premier Dr. Andrew Furey – September 18, 2023

“Today (September 18, 2023) I met with Premier Dr. Andrew Furey and the Minister of Education, the Honourable Krista Lynn Howell, to continue discussions on a high school for the Town of Paradise. I certainly appreciate the Premier making the time to meet and to follow-up on my meeting last month with the Minister of Education. I welcomed the opportunity to personally outline to the Premier the clear need for a high school for our Town, a need backed by statistics and census information. Paradise is one of the fastest growing municipalities in the province, and Council is committed to advocating for the education needs for our Town. I felt the Town’s concerns were well received by the Premier and Minister Howell and I look forward to continuing our dialogue with the Provincial Government on this vital matter.”
