MEDIA RELEASE
MILTON, ON – As part of its plan to protect Ontario and prepare students for success in our workforce, the Ontario government has provided the Halton District School Board with approval to issue the tender for the new Milton SE #13 Public School to create more student spaces and child care spaces.
“The funding for a new Milton SE #13 Public School is great news for our community,” said Zee Hamid, MPP for Milton. “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 $43.3 million, which includes additional funding of $18.9 million. When complete, the project will deliver 926 new elementary student spaces and 88 new licensed child care 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 the one in Milton, 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.
“Building and renewing Ontario’s infrastructure is a key part of our government’s plan to protect the economy and keep workers on the job in the face of significant economic uncertainties,” said Todd McCarthy, Acting Minister of Infrastructure. “Through our more than $220 billion capital plan, we are getting shovels in the ground faster to build new and improved schools, transit, hospitals and other critical infrastructure for communities across the province.”
“This investment into our community is great news. I am so grateful to our local MPP Zee Hamid for his continual advocacy and commitment to ensuring Milton schools receive the infrastructure needed to continue to deliver quality education for our students.”
