Several Dunster children will start the school year in a makeshift assortment of structures in their hometown rather than travel to Valemount or McBride.
As of yesterday afternoon, Dunster Fine Arts School Society president Seth Macdonald said he's secured a 12-by-eight-foot-tent, a 45-foot camperized bus and two carports adjacent to the school to act as classrooms for eight to 15 elementary-age students.
Dunster Fine Arts School was among the six school board trustees closed for the 2010-11 year and parents in the community 245 kilometres east of Prince George have been fighting to get it reopened since then.
