DELTA – New Democrat MLA Ravi Kahlon says the new addition at Ladner Elementary will be open for the start of school in September, creating 150 new student seats for the growing area.

“Families in Delta deserve access to quality education close to home,” said Ravi Kahlon, MLA for Delta North. “By adding 150 new seats at Ladner Elementary, we’re making sure more students can learn in safe, modern classrooms while helping address the growing demand in our community.”

Ladner Elementary is one of several school announcements being made today, together representing over 3,000 new spaces opening across the province this Fall.

Since 2017, the Province has committed over $6 billion in school capital projects, creating nearly 43,000 new student spaces and over 39,000 seismically safe seats in B.C. schools. As the province grows, we remain committed to working with both school districts and municipalities to provide all students with safe, modern and inspiring places to learn.
