A proposed new elementary school in Coldstream will go to public hearing tonight. The hearing will be at 6 p.m. Monday night in council chambers at 9901 Kalamalka Road. Proposed changes needed to build the elementary school at 10050 Middleton Drive would include a bylaw amendment and a zoning change. The elementary school is proposed by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kamloops and would be neighbour the existing Our Lady of the Valley church. A letter addressed to district council says the integration of the church, school and community is an important concept in the Catholic faith. “We believe the construction of a school at this site will be a benefit and enrichment to the parishioners of the church, the students at the school and their communities,” reads the report. The layout plan for the school includes a two-storey building which would have the school and a daycare. Plans also include a soccer field, basketball court and additional play areas.
