Thirty brand new schools will open their doors for the first time when students return to class in September, and another 34 schools have been improved through new additions, renovations or major retrofits. 

In addition, 150 schools across the province are going green with wind turbines, solar walls and other clean technologies and products — giving students a cleaner, greener and more energy-efficient place to learn.

Investing in students and making schools better places to learn is an important part of the government’s Open Ontario plan to strengthen education, which has already led to smaller class sizes, higher test scores and an improved graduation rate. It also creates local economic benefits and supports a stronger, cleaner, greener economy.
