Montréal – Emmanuel Dubourg, Member of Parliament for Bourassa, and Suzanne Tremblay, Governmental Secretary for the Minister of Education and Member of the National Assembly for Hull, announced a joint investment of up to $1,342,639 to modernize two elementary schools in Eastern Montreal. For the occasion, they were joined by Marjolaine Dupuis, Executive Director of the Centre de services scolaire de la Pointe-de-l’Île (CSSPI), and Nadine Lalancette, school principal at École primaire Pierre-de-Coubertin.
This investment will enable the CSSPI to repair, modernize and upgrade the interior finishes at École primaire Pierre-de-Coubertin and École primaire Adélard-Desrosiers. These renovations will improve the resilience and ensure the sustainability of these facilities and improve the learning environment for students and staff. Quebec’s investments in this project are part of the overall funding allocated by Québec to improve its school infrastructure, which will reach $22.2 billion by 2023.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country’s economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
“Our government recognizes the importance of investing in the development and sustainability of our schools to make them places that foster learning, teaching, development and growth of our young people. This is why the Government of Canada is proud to contribute more than $1 million to renovate indoor facilities for two schools of the Centre de services scolaire de la Pointe-de-l’Île. By investing in modern and adequate school infrastructure, we help build stronger and more resilient communities for present and future generations.” – Emmanuel Dubourg, MP for Bourassa, on behalf of Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities
