The Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) is pleased to announce that the Ministry of Education has granted funding approval for the construction of the new Breslau-Hopewell Crossing Elementary School. The school will be located at 95 Loxleigh Lane, Breslau, in the Township of Woolwich.
The Ontario government has approved a total investment of $32.5 million to support construction of the new Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 school, which will accommodate:
- 611 new elementary school spaces for WRDSB students
- A four room child care centre, providing up to 73 child care spaces for children 0-4 years old
"Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) is grateful for the Ministry's continued investment to better serve WRDSB communities," said Scott Miller, WRDSB Director of Education. "This additional funding ensures that we can move forward with building a modern, inclusive learning environment and child care facility that will serve students, families and the Breslau community for generations to come."
"Our Board remains committed to providing high-quality educational spaces across the region," said Maedith Radlein, Chair of the WRDSB Board of Trustees. "This funding approval is a vital step forward in addressing the needs of a growing community and reflects our shared goal of supporting student success from the earliest years onward."

Before we open this new elementary school, WRDSB will:
