As part of its plan to protect Ontario and prepare students for success in our workforce, the Ontario government has provided the Durham Catholic District School Board with approval to issue the tender for the new addition at St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic School to create more student spaces.
“The funding for a new addition at St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic School in Oshawa is great news for our community,” said Todd McCarthy, MPP for Durham. “Through this investment, we’re creating opportunities for students to thrive today and well into the future.”
This project is supported by a total investment of $3.8 million,which includes additional funding of nearly $450,000. When complete, the project will deliver 138new elementary student spaces for local families.
“Our government is focused on supporting students, teachers, and parents while ensuring school boards are equipping our students with the tools they need to succeed,” said Paul Calandra, Minister of Education. “Once completed, this project will offer an inspiring learning environment that helps students prepare for the jobs of tomorrow. Our government will continue to provide the resources students need for ultimate achievement.”
Through local infrastructure projects like this one in Oshawa, the government is meeting urgent needs to address growth related to demographic changes. The investment is part of Ontario’s commitment to invest about $23 billion to support school construction, renewal, and improvement over 10 years.
“With nearly $200 billion invested into building, our government’s historic infrastructure plan is getting shovels in the ground to build better schools, transit and communities that Ontarians deserve today and for future generations,” said Kinga Surma, Minister of Infrastructure.
“We are grateful to the Government of Ontario, Minister Calandra, and Minister McCarthy for their continued support of Catholic education in the Durham Region,” said Monique Forster, Chair of the Durham Catholic District School Board. “This additional investment in the St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic School six-classroom expansion will help us to meet the needs of our growing community as we continue to provide excellent Catholic education to students and families in Oshawa.”
St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic School is located at 1425 Coldstream Drive in Oshawa.
