Aqsarniit School construction on schedule

Rumours that the addition to Iqaluit’s middle school is three months behind schedule are not true, said Lorne Levy, the department of education’s point man on school infrastructure in Nunavut.

After hearing rumours about a delay, Levy held a meeting on Feb. 15 with the Iqaluit District Education Authority, the construction company, SNC Lavalin and the architect.

The project’s leaders expect the new part of the school to be open for classes by the time school starts again in the fall.
