The province is providing more funding to support a new school in Markdale.
The Bluewater District School Board has been given more funding for the construction of Beavercrest Community School to create more student spaces.
This has been supported by an investment of $20.7 million which includes additional funding of $1.1 million.
Once the school is complete there will be 374 elementary spaces and 39 licensed child care spaces along with an Early ON centre for families.
The funding comes as part of a $16 billion project to support school construction renewal and improvement over 10 years.
MPP for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound Rick Byers says this investment will ensure families and students will have access to a quality learning environment in the years ahead.
