The community of Mansfield will be getting a new elementary school with space for 328 students.
Funding comes from the province’s plan to invest $23 billion over the next 10 years to build, renew, and improve schools in fast-growing communities.
The Mansfield school will be funded to the tune of $16.4 million.
“By building and expanding schools across the province, we’re making sure students can learn in modern, high-quality environments that support strong achievement,” said Paul Calandra, Ontario’s Minister of Education. “These investments will help students gain the skills and confidence they need to succeed and prepare for rewarding careers.”
The new school will be located at 9th Sideroad and County Road 18 in Mansfield.
“The funding for a new Mansfield Elementary School in Mansfield is great news for our community,” said Sylvia Jones, MPP for Dufferin-Caledon. “Through this investment, we’re creating opportunities for students to thrive today and well into the future.”
Over the past two years, the government has committed $1.3 billion annually in new school buildings, additions, and renovations across the province. This is the highest level of school capital funding in Ontario’s history.
A timeline for completing the new school has not yet been announced.
