The old Edwin Parr Composite School is still in the process of being decommissioned, and Aspen View Public School Division needs to get rid of some of the old assets.
According to a release, the school division will make some of the remaining surplus assets from the school available to community groups and the general public Jan. 19.
Communications officer Ross Hunter said some of the items available includes lockers, student desks, chairs, tables and a limited selection of office and miscellaneous furniture.
“Miscellaneous furniture can include items such as a teacher’s desk or a hair-washing sink,” Hunter said. “The cost for each of the items will be by donation.”
The release said the items will be available for viewing and pick-up from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. for community groups, and from 12 to 3 p.m. for the general public.
“Most of the asset inventory from the old EPC was repurposed to other schools within Aspen View,” secretary-treasurer Amber Oko explained in the release. “What remains is a very limited number of items that we are making available, first to community groups and then to the general public.”
Hunter said the event will be run like a garage sale.
“We have no hard or fast rule to pick up the items,” he said. “The only thing we do ask is that they remove the item they purchase that very day, so bring any tools vehicles and man power they need in order to load the item they collect.”
Hunter added that the disposal of the remaining assets is not meant to be a money maker, and there is no minimum donation for any of the items.
“All the assets available have been fully depreciated and are offered ‘as-is’. We will gratefully accept whatever donation is deemed appropriate by those receiving the items,” Oko said in the release.
Photos of some of the items available will be posted on Aspen View’s website, at www.aspenview.org.
