Campaign underway to save A.B. Ellis school building

The move to save the A.B. Ellis Public School building begins on Wednesday.  Residents are joining together to protect the building from the wrecking ball by having it declared a heritage site.  Sharon Sproule is one of those leading the charge and she says the school could be converted into a multi-use centre including using its stage.  The 90-year-old structure is to be demolished next year.  The Save A.B. Ellis committee has a meeting this evening to talk about how to save the school.  It’s at the Espanola United Church and begins at 7:30pm.
