The City of Fernie has reached an agreement with Conseil Scolaire Francophone (CSF) for the École Sophie-Morigeau primary school to continue using a potion of the Max Turyk Community Centre.
The school opened in 2013 and the most recent lease agreement ended in 2019.
The city and CSF had been negotiating a potential sale and purchase of the building but it never went through.
They have been on month-to-month lease since the previous one expired.
The new lease is for a five-year term with the city receiving roughly $40,000 per year from rent.
