The first day of many to come...

Today marks our first day at school with our construction company, Yellowridge, occupying the vast majority of our school site!
Over the course of the coming 18 months, you can frequently turn to this BLOG to read about the most current news/updates/FYI's about "what's happening".

I'll be meeting with the project manager and construction team coordinator every two weeks to get updates - and these are today's first notifications:

• an excavator will arrive later this week and remain on the site for the weeks it will take to remove the large amount of materials on the 7th Avenue portion of the site
• Hydro will be connecting the company to a local transformer to provide adequate power to Yellowridge and its work on the site
• parking will be significantly reduced on 7th Avenue as per the City of Vancouver's plan
• Yellowridge will move a working trailer onto the site in the coming week, expecting to place it on the northeast segment of the site

Once the fencing is secured and permanently positioned on the blacktop, and we know the exact area that we will be left with, we will work to create maximum use of the space for the children.  I have met with each class to talk about how everyone must adjust the use of such a limited space - while encouraging children to get more physical exercise after school hours each day.
