Another school in my riding, since we are dealing with Education, Culture and Employment, is the Paul Niditchie School in Tsiigehtchic. It has a joint community hall/small gymnasium, which is attached to the school and used for both purposes: as a community hall and by the school for recreation. It is having some major piling problems that just came to light the last time we were there for a meeting a couple of weeks back.
That building was going to be condemned before we even had our public meeting there that day. I’m just wondering exactly what we are doing to ensure
inspections to ensure that we have safe facilities for our students to go to school in and the public to use as community halls or community recreation activities.
I think, again, the government’s so called number one priority is public safety. We’re being told to have pride in our community. Well, we may not have to meet in that facility because it’s been classified as unsafe since the pilings under it have deteriorated and they just found out about it.
So how often are these inspections — assessments and evaluations — done to ensure the protection of people and the students in those schools is priority number one?
