A SENSE OF HOME: École Belle-Baie students Piper Carr (Grade 10) and Loki Boyd (pre-Primary) were among the students who welcomed visitors to their brand new French language school in Larry’s River during last week’s grand opening. The event drew kids, parents, well-wishers and educators from as far away as Halifax and Chéticamp to experience the realization of a decades’ long dream for the Tor Bay region’s Acadian community. “We wanted people to experience the space through the eyes of the kids who will learn and grow here,” said Principal Nicole Avery-Bell. “There’s pride because the building is beautiful, but also because it’s a real validation of our community.” Full story in this week's edition.
