The new school is to be located in the Waverly Gardens subdi- vision. Bob Gutteridge told somè of the St. Joseph School volun- teer workers at a dinner Friday, dune 16, that the reason for the delay in building the school is a lack of funds from the Ontario gover-nment. At present, about 440 stu- dents are using theý St. Joseph's school on Liberty Sf. but some of them bave to use portable buildings for their classrooms. A planned school for Lawr- ence Avenue, in Waverly Gardens could accommodate some sýtudents- now attending, St. Joseph's.
