Coastal Roofing Ltd. of St. John’s has been awarded a tender to replace the gymnasium roof at Clarenville Middle School.
“This project, valued at $178,822, is another example of the work the Provincial Government is doing to protect its investment in existing school infrastructure and provide improved facilities for students and staff,” said the Honourable Clyde Jackman, Minister of Education. “It is the latest in a series of more than 1,850 repairs and maintenance projects undertaken by government in the past 10 years.”
Clarenville Middle School serves about 300 students from Grades 7-9. Work is expected to start in early September.
“The District of Trinity North has benefited immensely from the investments in school infrastructure,” said the Honourable Ross Wiseman, Speaker of the House of Assembly and MHA for Trinity North. “This announcement today is another of the many improvements made within the region in recent years.”
Budget 2013: A Sound Plan, A Secure Future provides almost $102 million for new and ongoing school infrastructure projects. Since 2004, about $620 million has been allocated for school infrastructure throughout the province, including almost $220 million for repairs and maintenance projects.
