REGINA — Kids in the Village of La Loche in northern Saskatchewan are getting a new state-of-the-art elementary school to learn in.
Wright Construction Western Inc. has begun building a new pre-kindergaten to Grade 6 school in the community thanks to a $30 million investment from the Government of Saskatchewan, according to a news release.
The Northern Lights School Division is contributing additional funds to increase the size of the gymnasium so it can be used by the school and community.
The school will be 5,548 square metres with space for 475 students. It will replace Ducharme Elementary School which is nearly 50 years old.
The school will have 26 classrooms, a kitchen and a “feature staircase that can be used for school gatherings,” writes the province.
It will also feature a rounded cultural centre with elements of Indigenous culture.
Construction is estimated to be finished by spring 2025.
