Maitland District: Students and School

maitland district: The red brick school, with its cheery classrooms and gleaming halls, was built at the height of the baby boom and filled with students and hope, according to Huffington Post Canada. Decades later, the school's enrolment had dwindled to 20 students, its classrooms nearly empty and hallways deserted. Today, the students are gone, the northern Nova Scotia school a symbol of the relentless exodus from Atlantic Canada that was made plain again Wednesday by the latest census numbers from Statistics Canada. The local school board put multiple grades in one class and put off badly needed maintenance. Our senior population is growing by leaps and bounds. In 2015, Maitland District was shuttered altogether, the few kids left in the village bused to other schools. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
