REACH Centre In Clinton Ready For Students

The Reach Centre in Clinton held its Applicant Information Day for incoming students earlier this month.

Student Services Coordinator, Samantha Tapper says they were expecting about 25 students with their parents but they got closer to forty.

One of those students was 23-year old Caroline McCourt.

She says her parents own a horse farm in Mount Brydges and she wants to take over the business at some point and was impressed with the facilities in Clinton.

“The facility is very clean and all the horses are very well cared for and the instructors have good knowledge of what they're teaching so I'm just very happy with how it is and I want to be a part of it,” said McCourt.

She says she'll be staying in Clinton rather than commute from Mount Brydges.
