Municipality of North Grenville Welcomes Permanent French Catholic School on Kemptville Campus and Announces Potential New Sports Dome

North Grenville, ON - The Municipality of North Grenville, Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-est (CECCE), and the Kemptville Campus are pleased to announce the establishment of a permanent French Catholic school.

This development marks a significant milestone for the Municipality of North Grenville, enhancing educational and recreational opportunities for the community.

Previously, the CECCE rented space for operations and establishing a permanent home on Kemptville Campus signifies a pivotal transition, offering a dynamic and future environment for educational activities and reinforcing North Grenville’s commitment to a vibrant, inclusive educational landscape.

Mayor Peckford expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “On behalf of the Municipality of North Grenville, we are delighted to see the Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-est establish a permanent home on Kemptville Campus, much like the Le Conseil des écoles publiques de l'Est de l'Ontario (CEPEO) which purchased 7 acres and 2 buildings in 2018. Our community is proud to support the growing number of Francophone and Francophile families who will benefit from more educational opportunities.”

In addition to the school, the Municipality of North Grenville is excited to announce that the Municipality and French Catholic Board are pursuing the feasibility of establishing a multi-recreational sports dome on Campus.

Mayor Peckford continued, “The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-est solidifies the strong desire by both parties of exploring the viability of establishing a multi-recreational sports dome on the campus in the near future.  This facility would serve not only the students but also a diverse array of recreational and sports groups from North Grenville and surrounding areas."

The Kemptville Campus Board Chair shared his excitement about the new development. "I am thrilled to welcome the Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-est to our campus," said Brian McKee. "The establishment of a permanent home for the French Catholic school and the development of a sports dome align perfectly with our mission to create a vibrant and inclusive community space with a particular focus on education, training and sports. We look forward to seeing the positive impact these projects will have on our students and the entire community."

The Municipality of North Grenville and the Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-est look forward to the development of these projects and the positive impact they will have on the community.
