Quebec cuts mean losses to the public

It’s Quebec’s cuts to education that are forcing school service centres to end municipal access to their facilities, it turns out. Towns had relied on sharing school premises outside of class hours to offer sports and leisure programs, which will now have to close. Montreal is affected, but so are Laval and other towns in Quebec.

All this over what must be a paltry $9 million for the provincial government, which is intent on squeezing nickels and dimes out of public services to bolster the books.
