Bricks from Old Ritchie School available Friday, May 8

A week after demolition began on the 108-year-old Ritchie School, it is mostly a pile of rubble, and bricks from its magestic façade are available for pickup. If you would like to take home a tiny piece of community history, 200 bricks were to be made available today in the southwest parking lot of École Joseph-Moreau at 9735 74 Ave. First come, first served. Please keep your distance from others when you pick your brick.

Remember Ritchie School at June 22 Bbq

Ritchie School still stands at 9735 75 Ave., but not for long. Stantec, which is building the replacement school next door, invites you to a farewell BBQ June 22, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Bring any photos or Ritchie School and memorabilia you would like to showcase. You’ll also be able to request materials like bricks be set aside for you when the time comes to bring the venerable structures down.
