Humboldt, SK – Horizon School Division is pleased to announce the Government of Saskatchewan has approved the Lanigan, Sask. consolidated school project for construction. Quorex Construction Services Ltd. has been awarded the contract within a Construction Manager at Risk agreement.
“We are pleased to take a step forward in providing the community of Lanigan and surrounding areas with a progressive, modern school facility,” said Mark Fedak, Trustee for Subdivision 4.
Together, Horizon and the Ministry of SaskBuilds and Procurement have worked to find more than $2.47 million in savings, while maintaining quality of instructional space. Horizon’s Board of Education has been approved to contribute up to $500,000 from reserves, adding to Ministry funding for the project. The project team continues to work with SaskBuilds and Procurement with the intention of construction beginning in the coming months.
