Site chosen for new francophone school in Prince Albert
An area near the Alfred Jenkins Field House in Prince Albert, will one day be home to a new francophone school in Prince Albert.
The site location was confirmed Wednesday in a joint press release from the provincial government and Conseil des écoles fransaskoises (CÉF) which also included details for a new school for Saskatoon.
“The sites selected for these schools indicate progress and increased opportunities for our communities,” Education Minister Jeremy Cockrill said. “These schools hold great significance for Saskatchewan’s francophone community and are essential for maintaining language, culture and identity. We are excited to be a part of these projects that will support francophone students and their families for years to come.”
The new CÉF school in Prince Albert will replace École Valois and will be designed to accommodate up to 350 Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12 students, including 51 child care spaces. It will be located near the Alfred Jenkins Field House.
