The only school in a small town off the southern coast of Newfoundland has closed its doors for the last time.
Grand Bruit, on Newfoundland's south coast, has just a few dozen permanent residents.

The students of Grand Bruit All Grade school — all two of them — have finished exams and will move away to attend high school in the fall.
It is a bittersweet moment for the school's only teacher, Karen Walters.
"It's sad that the school is closing. It's not very often schools close because there's no kids left," Walters said.
"The community is coming to its ending point. There's no possibility of families moving back to Grand Bruit without a school."
