- The district has been successful in receiving a $219,000 grant this year to purchase school woodwork, metalwork and automotive shops and foods lab equipment at NSS and Lucerne, ranging from table saws and routers, to energy efficient fridges and stoves this year
- $65,000 of the funding will be spent this summer on a major upgrade to plumbing, electrical and cabinetry at Lucerne Foods Room as pipes in this foods lab freeze each winter, electrical circuits blow and insulation in the walls is inadequate. Ministry staff identified this as a high priority for the funding. (NSS shop and Foods room facilities have already received significant AFG capital funding support and maintenance staff investments in infrastructure over the years; NSS Foods cabinetry was replaced about 8 years ago…)
- A total of $368,000 over the next 3 years will be allocated to SD 10 with schools determining the highest priorities for capital equipment of the grant application
- This additional capital infrastructure is considerable, and very welcome indeed as our trades equipment is decades old. The new funding will significantly strengthen our youth trades programs!
