St. Anthony's proposed new K-12 school passed another hurdle at Town Council on Tuesday, September 2.
    Councillors passed the re-zoning application from Christ the Redeemer School Division by a narrow 4-3 margin, allowing the development to proceed.
    The school division needed the application to receive Council approval or the school could not be built on the 12 acre site on North Dinosaur Trail.
    The present St. Anthony's School's four acre site in east Drumheller is 50 years old and does not provide room needed for present and projected student enrollments.
