Delta – Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion and Member of Parliament for Delta, Ravi Khalon, Minister of Housing and Government House Leader and Member of the Legislative Assembly for Delta North, and Doug Sheppard, Superintendent of Schools for the Delta School District, announced a joint investment of more than $1.1 million to improve ventilation in six Delta School District schools.
Project works include renewing the ventilation systems at Brooke Elementary, Cougar Canyon Elementary, Chalmers Elementary, and Gibson Elementary schools. This investment will enable the replacement of six rooftop units that distribute conditioned air within defined areas of Seaquam Secondary and replace three units with the same function at Sands Secondary.
These improvements will optimize air flow inside classrooms and increase outdoor air intake, providing a healthier and more comfortable learning environment for students and staff. By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country’s economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
“Today’s investment in these six Delta schools makes sure that families can send our kids to school knowing they have a clean, safe, and comfortable place to learn. Working in partnership with the Province of BC, we are investing in projects such as this across BC, building the infrastructure that our communities need.” – Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion and Member of Parliament for Delta, on behalf of Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities
