Construction Underway On $5 Million Facility Upgrades For Clavet Composite School

Released on November 24, 2021

Crews from the Saskatchewan company Hipperson Construction are hard at work on upgrades at Clavet Composite School in Prairie Spirit School Division. Progress is underway on the renovations, including upgrades to the mechanical and electrical systems, walls, floors, ceilings, millwork, fixtures, lighting and paint.

"This investment will ensure Clavet Composite School remains a state-of-the-art facility that supports the learning needs of the students of Clavet," Education Minister Dustin Duncan said. "Once these upgrades are fully completed, staff and students will be able to enjoy a modern learning environment equipped with state-of-the-art features for years to come."

The Government of Saskatchewan has invested $5 million for the project as part of the government's $7.5 billion capital plan to build a strong Saskatchewan and stimulate the province's economic recovery.

Design for the renovations was completed in May of this year, with construction beginning in August. Upgrades are expected to be completed in the fall of 2022. Once work is finished, both air quality and energy consumption will be improved, which will help reduce the school's operating costs.

"On behalf of the Prairie Spirit Board of Education and local Trustee Dawne Badrock, I would like to thank the Government of Saskatchewan for dedicating resources to the extensive renovation project currently underway at Clavet Composite School," Prairie Spirit School Division Board Chair Bernie Howe said. "The renovations to the school will support innovative twenty-first century learning and provide improved safety and function for over 650 students in this dynamic and growing school community."

Since 2007, the Government of Saskatchewan has committed approximately $1.9 billion toward school infrastructure projects. These projects include 57 new or replacement schools, as well as 28 major renovations.
