Upgrades Enhance Learning for Students: Allan
Education Minister Nancy Allan toured Winnipeg’s École Viscount Alexander today to get a glimpse of recent renovations that will provide an improved learning environment for students.
“We know that education is an investment in the future of our children and our province,” said Allan. “That’s why we’re working to give more students access to state-of-the-art learning environments where they can get the quality education they need to do well in school and in life.”
Total cost of the restoration project was $6.9 million and included acomplete exterior facelift including a new roof, energy improvements, improved building accessibility, increased window sizes and a new heating and ventilation system.
École Viscount Alexander is a grade 5 to 8 French immersion school with more than 287 students. The minister acknowledged the hard work of École Viscount Alexander and the Pembina Trails School Division staff in carrying out the project to its completion.
"Pembina Trails School Division is committed to creating an enhanced learning environment. These improvements will mean a better space for our students to learn and grow,” said Lawrence Lussier, superintendent of the division. “We are grateful to the province for all of the support it has provided in helping us bring this project to fruition.”
“Schools are important community assets,” said Allan. “This state-of-the-art school will benefit students, parents, teachers and the community as a whole.”
Since 2009, the provincial government has provided more than $362 million in capital funding for public schools, an increase of $167 million from the previous four-year period, the minister said.
