Sluice Point, Nova Scotia

Sluice Point in Nova Scotia

Sluice Point is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in the Municipalite Argyle Municipality in Yarmouth County .They decided to build a school. (At first) they only built the primary department in 1870. There was opposition (to) both the school and the Indian Sluice Point Bridge (to Surette's Island). Education was not well-understood then, and one man, Jacques Babin, stubbornly affirmed that no bridge or school would be built while he was alive. In (the primary department) there were about twenty-five seats. It was big enough at that time but the population increased so they built the advanced department in 1902.[1]
