In south Langford on Monday, reconciliation was on full display as a naming ceremony took place on the site of what will soon become School District 62’s newest elementary school.

The name means salmon children in the SENĆOŦEN language.“It’s a small part of the reconciliation that is happening right now,” said Charles.

“So we’re around five to six per cent growth rate, huge comparatively throughout the province,” said Scott Stinson, superintendent of the Sooke School District. The school district is particularly concerned about the secondary level. Royal Bay recently completed an expansion of 600 seats, yet it will be over capacity this year. Portables have now been brought in for the upcoming school year.

“I look forward to meeting with the Minister of Education in the weeks ahead,” said Ravi Parmar, MLA for Langford-Juan De Fuca.
