A new elementary school for Lethbridge

“One of the cornerstones of our Building Alberta Plan is education and preparing our kids for their future. Last spring, I committed to building 50 schools and modernizing 70 others and that is exactly what we are doing. I’m excited that Lethbridge families are going to benefit from this investment.”

The new Kindergarten to Grade 6 school will help address enrolment pressures in this growing community and benefit as many as 450 Holy Spirit Roman Catholic Separate Regional Division students.

“Our commitment to build state-of-the-art schools in communities across Alberta is critical to achieving the goals of Inspiring Education. We are putting students first by making smart and strategic investments in their education. These new schools will help ensure that every student can reach their full potential.”

With bright, open spaces and through the use of natural light and advanced ventilation systems that enhance air quality and circulation, this new school will benefit students and teachers by providing healthy learning and working environments. In addition to conventional classrooms, this new facility will also include space for project-based, collaborative learning.

Premier Redford committed to build 50 new schools and modernize 70 others. All 70 modernization projects are now underway. With this announcement, 43 new school projects are underway and the remaining seven new schools will be announced this month. Information about the school projects currently underway and additional details on the Lethbridge project can be found online as they become available.

Under the Building Alberta Plan, our government is investing in families and communities, living within our means, and opening new markets for Alberta's resources to ensure we're able to fund the services Albertans told us matter most to them. We will continue to deliver the responsible change Albertans voted for.
