Construction on a new, 480-seat elementary school is underway in South Langford, an area consisting of mainly residential homes.
“For any young families in the South Langford area, there’s not a lot of amenity land,” said Ravi Parmar, chair of the Sooke School District Board of Education.
With plans needing to be finalized to begin construction, the district decided to proceed without the turf field and lights, settling on an unlit grass field. He also points to financial stresses from having to save the YMCA/YWCA operation in Langford and build a new, $81-million police station. “We need all the fields possible for all of our associations because our municipality is growing,” said Lucy Hansen, team trainer with the Westshore Warriors.
