School Capital Repairs

Schools across Nova Scotia will get funding from the Province to support additional repairs and upgrades to extend the lives of buildings and facilities.

The school capital repair fund will allow schools to undertake renovations that will improve the learning experience for students, and the teaching experience for educators.

Projects include energy efficiency improvements, elevator upgrades, new windows and repairs to walls, foundations, roofs, windows and doors, enhancements to parking and transportation flow, and exterior and interior repairs. This funding covers 26 projects in all seven regional centres for education and Conseil scolaire acadien provincial.
