2011
Nearly $1.4 billion over three years was made available for school capital projects.
This includes $441 million to support completion of 22 new schools expected to open in the fall of 2014 across high-growth areas of the province, as well as the modernization of 13 existing schools.
2013/14
The Premier's 50/70 commitment includes more than $500 million toward the construction of a further 50 new schools and the modernization of another 70 existing facilities, with an estimated total investment of over $2 billion. Projects will be selected through a comprehensive assessment of various factors including school boards’ priorities, health and safety of students and staff, enrolment projections, current utilization, facility conditions and capacity for program delivery. The government will also continue to work closely with local school boards and stakeholders to explore potential community partnerships and innovative ways of maximizing use of existing and new school space.
Work on announced projects begins immediately following a project’s announcement. All of the projects posted to this page are in various stages of planning and design. Getting “shovels in the ground” is just one step in the process. There are many other critical steps that have to take place first, such as geotechnical investigations, schematic designs, stakeholder consultations, procurement/tendering/contracting, and permitting.
