Ontario’s education minister announced funding for two high schools in Ottawa — and says he’s going to transfer underutilized schools to boards that need the space.

Paul Calandra announced $77.7 million for a new Half Moon Bay Secondary School on Cambrian Road in Barrhaven for the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, as well as $74.7 million for a new Mer Bleu high school on Brian Coburn Boulevard in Orléans for the Ottawa Catholic School Board. Both schools will offer space for over 1,400 students.

Another $9.7 million will go to an addition to l’École élémentaire publique Mamawi in the Conseil des écoles publiques de l’Est de l’Ontario (the French public school board), providing 104 new student spaces and 39 new licensed child care spaces
