A number of capital needs put to the side while the Garden Valley School Division pursued the awarding of a new school, are part of the division's new 5-year capital plan.

Superintendent Vern Reimer says the plan includes resurrecting all of the items put to the side, as well as some new pieces.

The 5-year plan includes major exterior work at the Winkler Elementary School, an exterior refurbish along with upgrades to the heating, cooling and ventilation systems at the Hochfeld and Blumenfeld schools.

Also on the list for Winkler Elementary, a bigger second kindergarten class, as well a new dust collector for the industrial arts room.

Work to address some air quality issues in the fitness room at Garden Valley Collegiate as well as the addition of a washroom is also on the 5-year plan.

The 5-year capital plan has been submitted to the Public Schools Finance Board for consideration.\
