RELOCATABLE SPACE AND ROOF REPAIR PROJECTS ANNOUNCED

Released on March 31, 2010

Funding from the Ministry of Education's 2009-10 Budget will provide relocatable space additions and roof repairs that will benefit students and children across the province.

"We are helping school divisions repair roofs, complete facility audits, and handle enrollment and child care space pressures with $11.45 million in block capital investment," Deputy Premier and Education Minister Ken Krawetz said. "These relocatable classrooms and spaces are going to help make room for more students and children across our growing province."

Today's announcement includes $7 million for 18 new relocatables for Warman Elementary and High Schools, Martensville Valley Manor and Venture Heights Elementary Schools, École St. Thomas Elementary and Bishop Lloyd Middle School in Lloydminster, Miller and Davison Schools in Melville, and White City Elementary School, and for the redeployment of 11 existing relocatables for Saskatoon Public and St. Paul's School Divisions to handle enrollment pressures and to address changing demographics.

Funding of $3 million is being allocated for 10 relocatables to provide space for school based child care centres in Pangman, Stewart Valley, Estevan, and Gravelbourg, and three relocatables for additional prekindergarten programs. The location of the programs will be determined in consultation with school divisions.

Funding of $1.2 million is also being provided to support 12 roof repair projects in Saskatoon, as well as $250,000 for the Horizon School Division to complete facility audits.

Over the past three years the Government of Saskatchewan has committed more than $328 million to move forward 28 major school capital projects and more than 400 additional smaller school capital projects across the province. This represents a record high investment in school infrastructure and coincides with the first increase in provincial enrolment in 17 years.
