A group of Port Coquitlam, B.C., parents are searching for answers as to when their kids’ school will be replaced after it was destroyed by a fire.
A rally was held Tuesday at the site where Hazel Trembath Elementary once stood before a suspicious fire engulfed the school last October.
Chants of “Rebuilding Hazel” were heard coming from the dozens of parents and students at the rally.
The elementary school was completely destroyed in the fire, forcing hundreds of students to learn at a temporary school in a neighbouring community – about a 20-minute bus ride away.
“It is really a hassle to have (the students) over there and it’s not in our community,” said Andrea Rodriguez, a parent of a student.
“It used to be so nice to pick up the kids and you would see the teacher and you could ask (questions),” said Alaina Milicevic, another parent.
“We do not get any of that (anymore).”
Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West spoke at the rally, and had a message for developers who may have an eye on the property thinking the province won’t rebuild.
