The Montgomery Place Community Association is keeping quiet about its opposition to a proposed Saskatoon Tribal Council preschool in the neighbourhood.

A page on the community association’s website on Monday said a letter was sent to the City of Saskatoon to explain the community association is opposed to the proposed preschool “due to impact on the community.”

The preschool is part of the tribal council’s Aboriginal HeadStart program for Indigenous children, with a curriculum based on First Nations tradition and culture.

A blurb on the community association’s website said the preschool proposed for a bungalow at 3437 11th Street West will accommodate 32 children from eight other communities, “not including Montgomery Place.”

“We already have two preschools out here,” Ryan Doherty, who owns a house nearby, said in an interview on Monday. “There’s no need for a third one. It’s kind of a silly place for it.”
