The Provincial Government is investing $291,000 on improvements to GullLake School.
"We are investing in schools, in students, and in the future of
Saskatchewan," Learning Minister Jim Melenchuk said.
Gull Lake School will receive $250,000 in provincial government funding to
renovate and upgrade the elementary section of the school, as well as
$41,000 for a roof replacement over the music and practical arts room.
These projects will be cost shared with the Gull Lake School Division.
"With $40 million in the Department of Learning's capital budget for
schools, approximately 140 school construction, renovation or upgrading
projects will be funded in communities around the province this year,"
Melenchuk said. "An additional $20 million for school facilities was made
available, over a four year period, from the Centenary Fund which was
announced in 2000."
Additional projects will be announced throughout the province in the next
few weeks.
"This school improvement project is part of the government's commitment to
invest in modern, well-equipped learning facilities for Saskatchewan
students," Melenchuk added.
