The provincial government announced on Monday (Dec. 6) that it would be investing close to $23 million to build a new school and make upgrades to several others in Hamilton.
The money will see a new elementary school built in Upper Stoney Creek, and will go towards building a new addition at Guardian Angels Catholic School in Flamborough, and will add new child care spaces at Ecole Elementaire Public Pavillon de la jeunesse on the east mountain.
Flamborough-Glanbrook MPP, Donna Skelly, was joined by Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce for the announcement.
“This is great news for our community,” Skelly said in a press release.
“This investment will provide choice and flexibility for families and new opportunities for children in Upper Stoney Creek.”
The new $16.7 million Nash – Upper Stoney Creek Public School will create 650 elementary student spaces, 49 new licensed child care spaces and three new child care rooms. It will replace Tapleytown Elementary School.

Forty-nine new child care spaces are also being created at Ecole Elementaire Publique Pavillon de la jeunesse in Hamilton with an investment of $1.6 million.
The projects in Hamilton are part of a recently announced province-wide investment of more than $600 million to support new school and child care spaces.
