Surrey – Families in Surrey will benefit from 295 new elementary school seats as part of the B.C. government’s initiative to speed up school expansion.
“As more families choose to call Surrey home, we’re urgently providing the infrastructure and services people need for communities to thrive,” said Bowinn Ma, Minister of Infrastructure. “That’s why we’re speeding up building and expanding schools with our historic capital investments – so children can learn and grow in supportive, welcoming environments right in their neighbourhoods.”
The expansion brings 295 additional seats to Walnut Road Elementary. With a total provincial investment of $18 million for the project, the completion means new, engaging learning environments for both students and staff at the school.
“As Surrey continues to grow, we are dedicated to investing in the future of our communities and ensuring that every student has access to safe, modern and supportive learning spaces,” said Lisa Beare, Minister of Education and Child Care. “The new classrooms at Walnut Road Elementary will allow us to accommodate more students and reflect our commitment to provide every child with quality education and the opportunity to succeed.”
With an investment of nearly $1 billion in Surrey school construction, this addition is part of government’s ongoing work to deliver new and expanded schools over the past eight years.
