Three new schools in Manitoba are welcoming students into their classrooms for the first time this school year.
The province said Friday that two kindergarten to Grade 8 French immersion schools have opened in south Winnipeg, along with a kindergarten to Grade 4 school in Steinbach.
“By investing in modern, inclusive learning environments and accessible child-care spaces, we’re ensuring that students in growing neighbourhoods like Winnipeg’s Sage Creek and Steinbach have the opportunities and resources they need to thrive from their earliest years through to graduation,” said Education Minister Tracy Schmidt in a statement.
