There has been a delay in the arrival of modular classrooms for St. Thomas Aquinas Middle School in Red Deer and École Our Lady of the Rosary School in Sylvan Lake.

The division says delivery was delayed because of delays by the manufacturer. Alberta Education indicated that we will receive the modular towards the end of August.

As it stands right now, screw piles and underground services are complete for all of the modulars.

Meantime, five classrooms have been added to St. Gregory the Great Catholic School in Blackfalds.
