WINNIPEG — The Manitoba government has announced it is building a new school in the Devonshire Park neighbourhood of Winnipeg.
The kindergarten to Grade 8 school on Devonshire Drive West will also include 74 infant and preschool child care spaces.
“It will address an 11 per cent growth in student population in the River East Transcona School Division since 2019 and will respond to the projected enrolment growth in the coming years,” states a release.
Design work will begin in the coming months with an anticipated construction start date in early 2026. An opening date of September 2027 is being targeted.
“After a decade of advocacy from the board of trustees and with unprecedented growth within our community, the announcement of a new school in the Devonshire area marks an exciting milestone for River East Transcona School Division,” said Colleen Carswell, board chair of the River East Transcona School Division, in a statement.
