Students and parents at Brookside Junior High School in Hatchet Lake, N.S., who raised tens of thousands of dollars for a year-end trip that was cancelled due to COVID-19 want a say in how their hard-earned money is spent. About $150,000 was raised for a Grade 9 trip to Toronto in May, parent Jocelyn Melanson told CBC's Information Morning. But she said families have been given little information about whether graduating students will see any of that money or if it will stay with the school. She said she doesn't know how much of the money was spent on the trip before it was cancelled. Her 14-year-old son, Adam Graves, raised money by riding his bike to neighbourhood homes selling tickets.
