The Government of Alberta has approved the acceleration of the construction for the Peace Wapiti Academy school replacement.
On Thursday morning, the Alberta government announced another round of School Now accelerations.
Officials say The Schools Now project will deliver more than 39,000 new and upgraded student spaces across the province. Included in the project, is confirmation that the Peace Wapiti School Division will be receiving an accelerated replacement for the Peace Wapiti Academy school.
Officials added that the Holy Family Catholic Regional School division will also be receiving a fast-tracked design for the St. Thomas More School replacement, in Fairview.
“Getting schools built faster matters to Alberta families,” said Martin Long, Minister of Infrastructure. “By accelerating 41 projects through the Schools Now program, we are moving more than 39,000 student spaces closer to construction and ensuring communities see real progress sooner.”
The Schools Now program launched in September 2024, officials say the program is focused on building and renovating schools as quickly as possible to keep up with Alberta’s rapid population growth.
