Although the Rockyford School closed its doors in June 2016, an old PA system from the school will help breathe new life into a neighbouring Golden Hills School Division (GHSD) school in Strathmore.
The unnamed Strathmore school’s PA system previously failed and there has been some issues getting parts, and a request for the system from GHSD was put before Rockyford council at the regular Tuesday, November 23 council meeting.
“One of the schools in Strathmore, the PA system is dead and they can’t get parts--whether it be part of a supply chain issue, they cannot get parts for this PA system,” said Rockyford Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Elaine MacDonald during the meeting.
The village has had no use for the old system, and there were no intentions to use the system in the future.
Council voted in favour of helping out their neighbouring municipality and giving the old PA system to the school in Strathmore.
