Dryden New Elementary School

The Keewatin Patricia District School Board has awarded the contract for the new Dryden Elementary School.

Finnway General Contractor will build the school for just over 13 million dollars, with the entire project coming in at over 16 million.

Superintendent of Business Dean Carrie says the harmonized sales tax will have an impact on the total cost of the project.

Carrie adds they were able to reach a lower price for the project after changing to a spring construction which avoids the need for heating.
