The province announced a new Minor Capital Renewal Program for school divisions to address smaller capital projects in the budget, and is now announcing two renewal projects. Education Minister Dustin Duncan says $4.5-million will support projects at two schools in Kyle and Moose Jaw. He says this program is for projects that are smaller than capital projects like new schools, but bigger than preventative maintenance and renewals.

Kyle Composite School and Ecole St. Margaret School in Moose Jaw applied for funding originally through the Major Capital Renewal Program. Both buildings are over 60 years old and in need of structural repairs, and downsizing of the infrastructure to lower the operating costs and prolong the life of the buildings. School divisions are invited to submit applications for the 2023-24 Minor Capital Renewal Program, and the approved projects will be announced on budget day next year.
