Ranger Park Preschool is again facing the possibility of closure.

A public meeting to discuss closing the preschool is tentatively scheduled for Mar. 14, with a time and place to be confirmed.

The preschool was brought back from the brink after a closed-door motion to close it was passed in August 2014. Public outcry led council to reverse its decision that fall.

Enrolment has continued to plummet since then. The fall session saw 103 kids participate, down from 121 in 2014 and 205 in 2011.

The Town had a net loss of $36,174 running the program.
