B.C.’s fastest-growing city will be getting two new schools, the provincial government announced on Friday.
As part of the B.C. budget, a new Darts Hill area elementary and an addition to Grandview Heights Secondary School will be built to support the growing population.
Last fall, the government also provided funding to start prefabricated additions at Walnut Road, Lena Shaw, and Woodland Park elementary schools to add 875 new seats.
“With nearly 350,000 more people choosing B.C. as their home in the last two and a half years, the province is focused on building services for a growing population,” Rachna Singh, Minister of Education and Child Care, said in a statement.
“We are expanding school spaces and will work on acquiring new school sites to support the school district, so we can continue to support Surrey families now and into the future.”
