Four SD 57 schools receiving money for ventilation upgrades

School District 57 is receiving just over $1.8 million from the province to improve ventilation at four schools.

“Investments in schools are investments in student success, and we are putting more resources into buses, classrooms and schools so that students can thrive,” said Jennifer Whiteside, Minister of Education.

“That’s why our government continues to deliver on our commitment to support school districts in upgrading and maintaining their schools to ensure students are learning in safe, healthy environments.”

The funding will go towards HVAC upgrades at:

  • Van Bien Elementary
  • Pineview Elementary
  • Buckhorn Elementary
  • Heather Park Elementary

Overall, the provincial government is providing $240.5 million for school maintenance projects during the 2022-23 school year.
