Two years ago, the Liberal provincial government in power announced that they were investing $784 million to help build 39 new schools across the province, and renovate or expand another 40 school buildings. These important projects were expected to not only serve elementary and high school students across Ontario but also to provide more than 2,700 new licensed child care spaces to support the growing needs of Ontario families.
Fix Our Schools wants to hear from you and your communities about how each of these approved projects is progressing? Please email us at info@fixourschools.ca or engage with us on social media to let us know! We have heard that the people of Stoney Creek are frustrated about delays in Collegiate Avenue Elementary Schools approved renovations and addition.
Stop the delays @Sflecce. The people of Stoney Creek are disappointed and want to see Collegiate Avenue Elementary School's renos completed ASAP. No more excuses, no more delays. This project must go ahead! #educationmatters #studentsuccess #onpoli #HamOnt pic.twitter.com/aYjaNLBePX

To date, since the Ford government was elected in June 2018, Fix Our Schools is not aware of a single new school build that has been approved by this provincial government, which is disappointing, given how critical new school buildings are to addressing disrepair in schools and also to accommodating growth of student populations in many communities. What we are noticing is that Education Minister Lecce is re-announcing new school building projects that were actually approved by the previous Liberal government. If we are wrong and you’ve heard about a new school building or addition having been approved by the Ford government, please let us know about that too!
The new projects that were announced as approved by the Liberal government in January 2018 are as follows.
