Ward 7 – Tiger Jeet Singh Public School

 

The new public school that’s being built in ward 7 at 640 Yates Dr. had a very lively debate on it’s new name last week on the discussion forums.  You can read the thread at the link below.

Based on the original thread creator (Sean Powell) requesting the issue to be closed and the retraction of the petition on the name.  I’ve closed the thread. 

I would like to thank Tiger Jeet Singh for his contributions and philanthropic activities both in and outside of Milton.   I’m proud to have a school in Ward 7 (Hawthorne Village)  named after Tiger Jeet Singh.    The  community spirit that’s starting to gear up around our new school is quite exciting. 

More information to follow in the coming months about Ward 7’s newest school.
