Kingston’s Catholic school board has received funding from the provincial government to build a new school,
According to a news release sent out Friday, the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board has received $16.8 million to build the Kingston West Catholic Elementary School.
The new school will open up space for 481 students.
The building will also include four new child care rooms and three EarlyON child and family centre rooms, and offer 73 new child care spaces.
When completed, the school will be located at 386 Holden St. in Kingston.
The board’s director of education David Desantis said the new school will help keep up with current demand.
“It’ll provide relief from Ecole cathedral Catholique, and Our Lady of Mount Carmel primarily. It’ll also provide a little bit of relief from schools like Mother Theresa and Our Lady of Lourdes and so forth,” Desantis said.
