Students at Weyburn Comprehensive High School will have a new roof over their heads by December 2003. The Saskatchewan government today announced $259,000 in funding to replace the roof over the Industrial Arts Lab at the school.
"We are investing in schools, in students, and in the future of Saskatchewan," Learning Minister Judy Junor said.
The Weyburn School Division is sharing the cost of the project. Construction is expected to begin this summer.
We are pleased to see this project moving ahead," Weyburn Public School Division Board Chair Sonny Reinfelds said. "When the new roof is in place, it will help to significantly improve the educational environment for students in our community."
With the $36 million in the Saskatchewan Learning K-12 capital budget, which includes $4.6 million from the Centenary Fund, approximately 140 school construction, renovation or upgrading projects will be funded in communities around the province this year.
"This school improvement project is part of the government's commitment to invest in modern, well-equipped learning facilities for Saskatchewan students," Junor added. "Investing in education enriches our communities and ensures a wide open future for Saskatchewan students."\0
