After three years, Pleasant Valley Secondary School (PVSS) in Armstrong is celebrating a milestone. The school has received its occupancy permit, and despite a few finishing touches still needed, gym classes and games are now being held in the new gym.
For the first time in three years, the school's teams were able to host a game in their own gym. On Thursday, January 9, the PVSS Hawks Junior Boys basketball team played the Jackson Jays of Salmon Arm.
The gym had been closed for renovations after significant structural damage was discovered during planned upgrades in 2021. The damage, caused by a fire at the school in the 1970s, required the gym to be demolished and completely rebuilt.
Information about a grand opening for the new gym will be shared later this Spring!
