Business Plan Unveiled for Proposed Adult Training Center

A proposed adult training center at Lakewood School is getting the thumbs up in a new report.

Grant Thornton was asked by the Lake of the Woods Economic Development Commission to provide a business plan for the training facility.

Geordie McEwan is the vice-chair of the commission and says the initial numbers are very promising.

McEwan admits there are still lots of hurdles to cross, including the fact the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board owns the school and has not declared it surplus to its needs.

McEwan says they will be making a presentation to the school board trustees next month.
