“This was a real process for wandering as a society,” he said. “It has been a long time since we have asked society this kind of support for schools.”
Pearson said he was not surprised by the results of the elections after watching the community organized to support the referendum.
“I feel that this society, when it fails to do something, is able to achieve everything they define as a goal,” he said. “I am not surprised because once the need was determined, they were ready to intensify and invest in schools in a way that society feels strong support.”
Person said that the province 28 planned to start as soon as the renewal of three schools and the construction of a new Medoprook.
He said: “Architects have worked with us in the main plan and priorities.” “They are ready to move to the design stage. They will start in April. We hope we have what we need to go out for bids in January or February (from 2026).”

We have worked to make the process transparent two years ago.”
