St. Gregory Grade 8 Students Impress Council May 25, 2023

The Housing Corporation met with Grade 7 and 8 students at Picton's St. Gregory's Elementary School in February 2023 about housing issues in The County. The students then created a great presentation to Committee of The Whole May 25, 2023 on housing and economic development issues benefitting County residents. Seen here, students Paulina Mayall and Violet Dickie made an excellent presentation and answered Councillors questions. The students were supported by Principal Tracy Thomlinson and Teacher Nicholas D.  DiTimaso, and welcomed by Mayor Steve Ferguson, Director Chuck Dowdall (far left) and Housing Staff Elis Ziegler (far right).  We look forward to future connections with County Youth and congratulations again to the class and presenters!
