He and Graham Northam, a member of Makeshift, one of the two bands to perform this Friday, have begun a promotional company to be called JAG Management.

The tentative location is on lands between Taunton and Rossland Roads, in an area to the south of St. John's Cemetery, where a sub- division of homes is scheduled. The goal of the board is to have an elementary school constructed and ready for occupancy by Sep- tember 1989 and completion of a building project for English and French secondary school programs by 1990. Allocations for the secondary school site and building, and grants from the Ministry of Education will be sought through the 1988 capital expenditure forecast.

A provision has been made for the servicing of the three acres with the cooperation of Costain to enable construction of the school facilities prior to a subdivision agreement.
