New P.A. francophone school looking at being built near Alfred Jenkins Field House
To say the francophone community in Prince Albert is excited about the community getting a new K-12 school would be an understatement.
The province announced on Wednesday that funding will be included in the 2023/24 budget to help start the process of creating the new building which will officially replace École Valois.
They didn’t specify exactly how much money the project is getting, only stating they’ve set aside $4.4 million to help create five different schools in the province.
Josée Bourgoin, the interim president of the Sociéte canadienne-française de Prince Albert (SCFPA), told paNOW this has been a long time coming.
