Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi announced $47.9 million in provincial funding projects for the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board today.
This money will build a new elementary school in Kanata north, along with needed renovations at Longfield-Davidson Heights Secondary School in Barrhaven, Earl of March Secondary School and South March Public School in Kanata, as well as Mutchmor Public School in the Glebe.
“The board of trustees worked very hard to develop capital priorities list that reflected the diversity of capital needs in our district,” said OCDSB vice-chair Bronwyn Funiciello in the accompanying press release.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2014, according to the release.
Naqvi said Ottawa’s Catholic school board and French school boards will also receive funding for projects by the provincial government.
