"But I'm sure those two schools are cross- ing all kinds of people's minds in the uptown, given the fact there is such a criti- cal lack of space" Waterloo Coun. Brent Needham said the city has received a letter from the day-care centre board. expressing interest in relo- cating to Brighton school specifically.
