Demolition starts at Evergreen Elementary School
After standing in Drayton Valley for over half a century, demolition work at Evergreen Elementary School got underway Wednesday morning.
In July the inside of the building was gutted to remove hazardous materials, and just recently wrapped up.
Wild Rose School Division Board of Trustees Chairman Russ Hickman says the division has received many enquiries about when the demolition will start, with many residents having fond memories of the school.
“Many people have called wanting to witness the end of an era when the building is torn down,” said Hickman.
