Great progress has been made on the new Delia School, and it is on track to open to students on schedule.
Prairie Land School Division broke ground on the project in September of last year, and the managing contractor Shunda of Red Deer has been making steady progress on the new school project.
“To date, we have 95 per cent of the structural steel up and in place. Obviously, our masonry is done for now on the gym,” said Site superintendent Brian Antonsen. “The roofers are on site and are about 30 per cent complete.”
He said the masonry and siding contractors are also on-site installing vapour barrier. They are also defrosting the ground within the building so they can begin doing some slab preparation.
The name for Delia’s new K-12 school was discussed during the regular Prairie Land School Division (PLSD) board meeting on Tuesday, December 15, with the decision made to keep the original name Delia School.
A week prior to the board meeting, PLSD held a virtual town hall meeting following community dissatisfaction at one of the proposed names for the new school.
“With a combination of information we gathered from the town hall meeting on Tuesday, December 8 and the survey we conducted online, the consensus at the Tuesday, December 15 board meeting was to keep the name as Delia School,” Shandele Battle, PLSD Ward 4 Subdivision 2 Delia Trustee, told the Mail.
