Today’s opening of the newly renovated Quesnel Junior School marks the first major school project to be completed in the City since 1997.
After structural issues were found with the former facility in 2017, the province invested $1.8 million to renovate the then-closed Maple Drive Junior School.
Eventually, the province would invest a further $52 million to build a new Quesnel Junior School at the Maple Drive site on Mountain Ash Road.
Featuring a modern design, the new two-storey facility will provide safe education for up to 550 students in Grades 8 and 9.
The new School includes a learning commons area and flexible learning spaces, as well as a new space to offer before-and-after-school child care for infants and toddlers.
