UPDATE: Board sets deadlines for completion of GLSS construction

It'll be spring before the new auditorium at Great Lakes Secondary School is finished.

The Lambton Kent District School Board sat down with the project contractor this week and asked that the auditorium be turned over for occupancy by March 23.

The board is also asking that the two music rooms and an Indigenous room be completed by February 3, in time for the start of the second semester.

It was hoped work on the oft-delayed addition at the Murphy Road site, the former St. Clair Secondary School, would be done by Christmas.

Construction of the estimated $25 million project started in late 2017.
