A major clean-up is taking place at the abandoned Louis Lynch Secondary School to make way for its demolition, but some people who have been living there for the past five years say they will have nowhere to go.
A memo from the Ministry of Housing and Lands, dated Monday, March 24, stated that “given the increasing public health and safety concerns, a decision has been taken to demolish the buildings comprising the former Louis Lynch Secondary School facility”.
It warned staff not to be in the vicinity after hours during the demolition process from March 24 to today.
