MODL (the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg), which owns the Blockhouse School property, is ready to move on transferring ownership to us (SSSVC) if we get community support and Council’s approval.

Public Hearing

Tuesday, June 18, 7:00 pm at Blockhouse Fire Hall (not the school) – 510 Hwy 325 (on the Mahone Bay side of the 4-way stop).

This is a very important hearing. Please come if you possibly can. Consider making a presentation, especially if you live within MODL.
