Released on April 29, 1997
Education Minister Pat Atkinson today announced that the Department ofEducation will fund further renovations to Wadena High School during
1997. The total cost of the project will be approximately $1.2 million
with provincial funding of approximately $745,000.
"In March, the government released a good news budget for education,"
Atkinson said. "Capital grants to help upgrade and modernize our
schools increased by $5 million this year. It is because of this
increase that I am able to make this announcement today. This project
will enhance the quality of education and have lasting benefits for
Wadena students and the surrounding area."
Wadena High School was initially renovated during 1995. The new
renovations will complete the original project and will also include
mechanical system and corridor upgrades, a connecting corridor and
resource centre addition and renovations to accommodate resources,
staff and computer labs.
