Students and staff of Parkcrest elementary school are moving into a modern and expanded building this year to replace the former school destroyed by fire.

Construction of the new Sníne Elementary school will bring hundreds of additional student seats to benefit families in the fast-growing city of Kamloops.

Kamloops families are benefiting from 72 new child care spaces at the former site of Happyvale Elementary school, providing more options in the North Shore and Brocklehurst neighbourhoods.

Families in Kamloops are benefiting from a new child care centre opening at Ralph Bell Elementary in the Valleyview neighbourhood.

Students in Kamloops will soon benefit from a modern new school in the fast-growing Pineview Valley neighbourhood.

More parents in the Thompson-Cariboo region will be able to pursue work, school and other opportunities while knowing their children are cared for as the Province invests in nearly 340 new licensed child care spaces.

The Province is investing in local community-based programs to help adult learners break the barriers they face in building their futures.

The world is changing and B.C. students need to be ready to adapt to the careers of tomorrow. Students in the Kamloops/Thompson School District will be prepared, thanks to $22,500 in provincial funding awarded to the district, helping to connect kids with opportunities in skilled trades and tech training. 

Students, teachers and staff at Brocklehurst Middle school in the Kamloops/Thompson school district will benefit from $200,000 in provincial School Enhancement Program funding.

Families in the Kamloops/Thompson school district will benefit from improved transportation services thanks to $666,817 in funding under the new provincial Student Transportation Fund.
