A new school is in the works for francophone students in Smithers.
Currently, the Ecole La Grande-ourse is located in a leased facility and serves students from kindergarten to grade 7.
Replacing that, the new five unit facility will be located on the southeastern corner of Vancouver street and third avenue.
Including it’s own gymnasium, the prefabricated building will cost a total of $5 million on top of the $2.1 million used to purchase the property in 2022.
Though that building will only act as a place holder while long term plans are made for a larger and permanent facility.
