This report is the committee's reference as they work through the complex process of conserving the Athabasca Public School. Committee members are writing grants, drafting a budget and hiring contractors for the various stages of conservation including mitigating asbestos and replacing the windows. As the project moves forward, potential uses for the restored building will be considered and debated.
