School District 72 is moving ahead with work at Carihi Secondary following confirmation of provincial funding for both gym repairs and the A-Wing rebuild.

At the latest school board meeting, Secretary-Treasurer Kevin Patrick reported that the gym funding has been approved as a separate project, allowing work to move forward more quickly once contracts are finalized.

At the same time, planning continues for the A-Wing rebuild.

The approved design reflects the district’s preferred option, which includes additional space to better support student use, including a separate eating area that enhances the school’s cafeteria program.

The A-Wing project will require additional design and planning work before construction begins.

Once that work is complete, construction is expected to move forward alongside the gym project.

Detailed timelines will be shared as contracts are finalized and key milestones are confirmed.
