Ontario Unveils Plan to Build Modern Schools Faster

The province has a new plan to build modern schools faster that will cut construction timelines by nearly 50% to meet the unprecedented pace of growth across the province.  

For the first time, Ontario will ensure school boards are building schools in nearly half the amount of time it took before through a faster, transparent, accountable and clearer process that prioritizes shovel ready projects. School boards will follow a more streamlined process to identify and dispose of unused property, create more cash flow back, create schools in mixed-use building like condominiums and , use existing buildings in their communities.

The government is significantly reducing approval timelines and setting clear criteria to ensure school boards can be more efficient in the development, planning and building of schools.
