The St. Clair Catholic District School Board is about to undertake $7.4 million worth of capital projects.
Trustees approved the spending at a recent meeting, with the bulk of the work to be funded through Ontario’s School Condition Improvement capital renewal program, aimed at revitalizing aging education spaces, as well as the School Renewal Allocation program.
A number of revamps, along with a handful of new developments, are slated to taking place across the district.
In Chatham-Kent, this includes cafeteria renovations at Ursuline College Chatham and entrance accessibility upgrades at both St. Joseph in Tilbury and Holy Family in Wallaceburg.
A plumbing upgrade is slated for St. Anne school in Blenheim and the Catholic Education Centre in Wallaceburg is getting a fire alarm panel replacement.
Several site improvements are also on tap. Holy Family, and Chatham’s Monsignor Uyen and St. Angela Merici, as well St. Anne in Blenheim, are getting new naturalized outdoor play spaces. Fence upgrades are on the way for St. Elizabeth in Wallaceburg and St. Michael in Ridgetown. An outdoor learning space is also being created at St. Joseph, Tilbury.
