The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure has issued a tender for the construction of the new school in Labrador.

The new K-12 school in Cartwright will replace the existing Henry Gordon Academy, which opened in 1969.

The tender for the construction of the new school involves the construction of the new school with housing for teachers, a community library, pre-kindergarten space and gym. It will also include abatement and demolition of the existing school and development of a new parking lot and play and sports field in the area of the old school.

The last provincial budget included new schools in Cartwright, Kenmount Terrace, Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s, the extension and re-development of Dorset Collegiate on Pilley’s Island, as well as $50,000 to begin planning for a new school in Paradise.
