The Community project of continued K-12 education in Rossland has been successful (Yahoo and Whew). The NOL Committee has established the Seven Summits Learning Centre which will open in September 2013. This is wonderful news for the Red Mountain Academy because it means that we can continue to attract International Student/Athletes to Rossland who will integrate with local youth.
This whole process has been a roller coaster ride for me emotionally and I would say the same for the town of Rossland. It has been very hard to gauge progress or interest in the project and we never really knew if it would be successful or not. Unlike my business projects, this was one where the outcome was dependent on so many factors (and people) that were beyond my control. When it was annouced that it was a go I have to say I was more relieved that the process was over than anything. But now I am excited that this is a go ahead and am starting to think of all the potential of what this can become.
Happy times!!!
