How Three People Moved a School

In 1987, Cumberland Town Council met at the Town Hall in Leonard, about 10 km south of Cumberland Village. The meetings were much less formal then, and people got up and walked around during the meetings. At one meeting the site plan for Fallingbrook School was to be approved, and the community association had some concerns about half of the school being on the park land. Mayor Clark signalled a couple of us into the back room, and we agreed in a few minutes to move the entire school closer to Princess Louise Drive and away from the park. That was how George Blake, Keith Nesbitt and David Villeneuve moved a school.
