EDMONTON, ALTA. – The province of Alberta announced that it is moving forward with $100-million tender packages for the design and construction of four K-9 and one K-4 school projects.
Officials expect the construction on the projects is expected to get underway this September, with occupancy set for September 2022.
“Continued investment in public infrastructure projects like the construction of these five schools is an integral part of the government’s economic stimulus package to invest in needed infrastructure and get Albertans back to work,” said Prasad Panda, minister of infrastructure. “We are working hard to identify shovel-ready projects, accelerate processes and get construction underway as quickly as possible.”
The five schools that will be built are:

- K-9 Catholic school in Cochrane
- K-9 Francophone school in Legal
- K-9 Catholic school in Edmonton, Windermere-Keswick
- K-9 public school in Edmonton, Windermere-Keswick
