FLOATING DOCKS COMPLETE AT MARINA LEAMINGTON — The Municipality of Leamington has finished replacing the last of the stationary docks at the newly named Lakeside Marina, with new floating docks. This allows the docks to self-adjust with the rising water levels in Lake Erie. The boat ramp, which had been reduced to one lane during construction, is now fully open for use on both sides, allowing for one ramp in and one ramp out. Sun photo

Province invests in local school boards TORONTO — The Ontario government recently announced it is investing over $500 million to build 30 new schools and make upgrades to 15 existing facilities. The province has given Greater Essex County District School Board approval for a new unnamed elementary school in Lakeshore, and has promised $13,000,000 towards its construction. The investment will provide a new, quality learning environment through 582 new student spaces. In addition, the Ford government has given Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board approval for an addition to St. Louis Catholic Elementary School, which will provide an additional 147 elementary student spaces and 3 new childcare rooms in Leamington. These projects are part of the province’s capital investment program to support students with better learning spaces. “The funding for these schools is great news for these communities,” said Rick

Nicholls, MPP for Chatham-Kent-Leamington. “These investments will provide a quality learning environment and new opportunities for the children of Lakeshore and Leamington.” Ontario’s investment in new and updated schools will create the foundation for a modern learning environment for hundreds of students across the province. This investment will also generate nearly 900 new licensed childcare spaces. “From modernizing our curriculum to revitalizing our classrooms and their facilities, we are investing in our students and giving them every tool to achieve their full potential,” said Education Minister Stephen Lecce. “Our financing of the new unnamed elementary school – Lakeshore, and addition to St. Louis Catholic Elementary School further demonstrates our government’s historic investment in Ontario’s schools and our overall commitment to supporting our students and families.”
