New KiHS classrooms under construction in KO First Nations
.
Poplar Hill's new KiHS building is nearing completion. Located near the local elementary school, this new building will be used by those students wishing to stay in their community for their Grade 9 and 10 programs. Click here to see all the pictures of the construction process.
The other four KO First Nations (Deer Lake, Fort Severn, Keewaywin and North Spirit Lake) are also getting similar KiHS buildings for their students to be able to participate in the Keewaytinook Internet High School. As well, Deer Lake, Keewaywin and North Spirit Lake are constructing new e-Centres to better meet the needs of their community members. Langreen shipped these modular units on the winter road and is working with Keewaytinook Okimakanak Public Works and Neegan Burnside to get them built this summer for the start of the new school year in September.
Funding for these eight modular units came from the Keewaytinook Okimakanak Smart Communities project with the actual funds coming from FedNor and the Smart Communities program.
