The Waterloo Catholic District School Board (WCDSB) has received approval from the Ontario government to issue the tender for a new addition at St. Mark Catholic Elementary School in Kitchener. 

The project, supported by a total investment of nearly $13 million, including additional funding of nearly $4.6 million, will deliver 184 new elementary student spaces for local families. 

"The approval to tender for the new addition at St. Mark Catholic Elementary School is wonderful news for students and families in Kitchener," said Annalisa Varano, Director of Education. "This investment reflects our shared commitment to providing welcoming, high-quality Catholic learning environments where every child can discover their gifts and reach their full potential. We are grateful to the Ontario government for this support and look forward to the opportunities this expanded space will create for our community." 

The WCDSB thanks the Ministry of Education and Mike Harris, MPP for Kitchener-Conestoga, for their continued investment in Catholic education in the Waterloo Region. 

"The funding for a new addition at St. Mark Catholic Elementary School in Kitchener is great news for our community," said Harris. "Through this investment, we're creating opportunities for students to thrive today and well into the future."
