The Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board is taking measures to lower radon levels at St. Mary Catholic School in Massey.
There have been no reports of illness due to radon at the school, Brown told reporters after Wednesday’s meeting. Radon mitigation at the school will involve installation of a polyethylene membrane over the dirt floor in the crawlspace and the installation of 11 radon exhaust fans throughout the school.
“The federal government intends to ban the sale and manufacture of all light bulbs containing mercury by the end of 2026 so we will be doing several lighting upgrades in the coming years starting with these two this coming summer,” Brown said. Those schools are Holy Name of Jesus in Hornepayne, St. Augustine French Immersion Catholic School in Wawa, St. Mary in Massey and St. Mary’s French Immersion in the Sault. Brown said his department is aiming to have those barrier-free upgrades done over the next two years.
St. Basil Catholic Elementary School will have interior renovations done that will see the addition of three new classrooms.
