A significant amount of provincial funding is being allocated for a new elementary school in Kitchener.
Approximately $31.3 million is earmarked for the new school located at 365 Rosenberg Way, in the Bleams Road and Fischer-Hallman Road area of the city.
Kitchener-Conestoga MPP Mike Harris revealed the funding this week and participated in a groundbreaking ceremony.
The upcoming school will accommodate 600 students within the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) and include 88 licensed child-care spaces.
“The investment of $31.3 million by the Ontario government for a new elementary school marks an exciting new chapter in the WRDSB,” said Maedith Radlein, Chair of the WRDSB Board of Trustees.

“As our population continues to grow, we must meet the needs that come from an increasingly diverse community. This elementary school will provide a wonderful learning environment for WRDSB students, child care spaces and a welcoming space for families and the community to gather.”
Rosenberg II Elementary School is anticipated to be ready for students by 2028.
