Bishop Allen Academy-Seaton Village

Looks like we have a new high school in the neighbourhood; Bishop Allen Academy on Markham south of Barton. For those of you with grade six students, note that they are a grade 7-12 Catholic high school with options for French Immersion. Nice to see activity in that long abandoned building.
