"As a father, I understand that the local school really is the heart of the community, and that it's so important for young families to have a school that's close to home," says Todd Smith, Minister of Education. "Our government is listening to hard-working moms and dads, which is why we are delivering this critical expansion at Sacred Heart Catholic School for Sarnia families and more than doubling our funding to $1.3 billion for the largest one-year investment in school building in Ontario history. We are taking action to provide the modern, state-of-the-art schools that students, families and communities deserve."
