Several of Ottawa’s school boards are getting significant investments to build new schools in the city’s suburbs.

By far the largest pot of money announced last week by the Ontario government will go to the Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB), which is receiving more than $117 million to be divided among four school-related projects.

On the French side, the province is investing more than $40 million with the* Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est *(CECCE) so they can build a new secondary school in Riverside South.

Meanwhile, the Conseil des écoles publiques de l’Est de l’Ontario (CEPEO), the French-language public school board, will see nearly $15 million for a new Leitrim-area elementary school near Kelly Farm and Barrett Farm drives.

It’s also getting more than $52 million for secondary schools in Orléans and Clarence-Rockland, Ont.

No announcement was made Friday regarding funding for the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, the largest board in the city.
