I actually got a bit choked up and a flood of memories came swirling into my brain as I viewed your photos. I remember I came into the town of Lively one day for a doctor's appointment. Once the appointment had finished, I thought it would be interesting to pop over to where I once went to school, a new girl in town way back then. George Vanier P.S. saw me arrive as a nervous and shy girl of Grade 5 and leave as a teenager ready to embark on new journies at Lively District Secondary School. I remember walking around the halls, noticing how small everything that used to seem so large now seemed to be. Even the stair well in the very middle of the front of the school seemed demure now. Thank you for sharing these photos. It made me remember a lot of good times that I had put away on the shelves of my mind. What a surreal feeling to know I can never take my future children to see the school that their mommy used to go attend. Ah, such is life. wow…I had no idea that George Vanier P.S. was even set to close, let alone be demolished.
