New classrooms at Hammond Bay elementary behind schedule
NANAIMO — An underway expansion of Hammond Bay elementary school will wrap later than expected.
The addition of 12 new classrooms for a mixture of 295 existing and new students at the French immersion school won’t complete in the spring as originally forecast.
Mark Walsh, SD68’s secretary-treasure told NanaimoNewsNOW they’re seeing delays typical in the construction sector these days.
“We’re well in progress but due to this time we’re all experiencing with making sure we’re getting trades together, we’re seeing a slight delay in the project. We’re anticipating a fall completion rather than completion this spring like we were hoping.”
