New Breslau school gets green light from province

The province approved the final funds needed for the new Breslau-Hopewell Crossing School at 95 Loxleigh Ln.

No opening date has been announced at this time for the long-awaited Kindergarten to Grade 8 public school. When ready, it will welcome 611 students and offer 73 child care spaces.

“Breslau is one of the fastest growing communities in Waterloo Region, and this new school prioritizes the needs of local families,” said MPP Mike Harris, for Kitchener-Conestoga.

The cash announced this week rings in around $15.9 million, for a total provincial investment of $32.5 million.

“This additional funding ensures that we can move forward with building a modern, inclusive learning environment and child care facility that will serve students, families and the Breslau community for generations to come,” said Scott Miller, Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) Director of Education.

About $16.6 million from the province was announced for the school three years ago.

At that time, the WRDSB said Breslau was set to welcome an anticipated 4,176 people by 2031.
