The bill to repair and renovate an elementary school shut down because of health concerns is expected to top $1.1 million.
Repairs and renovations to St. John?s School in Garson will include a new ventilation system worth almost $560,000 and a new roof that will improve air quality and stop the growth of mould inside the school.
Students and staff have been moved to the former Ecole Secondaire l?Heritage on Second Avenue in Minnow Lake until work is completed.
Work is expected to be finished by the end of February.
