As 2011 gets underway, Oxford Mayor Lloyd Jenkins looks back at the previous year as a major success – especially the grand opening of the new Oxford Regional Education Centre last May.
The $18 million education centre replaced two aging local schools – Oxford Regional High School and Oxford Regional Elementary school, and currently has 450 students ranging from primary to grade 12.
Jenkins said the planning and building process was a long time coming for the community.
“Everyone was pleased. We’re expecting new families to move in. I haven’t seen any yet but I believe they are.”
As for 2011, Jenkins said the municipal council has not made any big decisions for the year, but financial stability is a main part of the agenda.
“We focused on things like meeting the budget purposes. The premier is saying that it’s going to be hard in the municipalities this year, so we’re going to have to wait and see what the financial situation is going to be.”
