Raising the Roof at Erie Migration District School
Everything is coming together at Erie Migration District School. Fortis Construction Group continues to advance construction toward the scheduled opening date of September 2024, with the final beam being placed on the interior structure of the school this morning.
Fortis Group brought forward the idea to have future students, staff, trustees and community representatives invited to add their signatures to the final beam. Over 50 attendees were given the opportunity to sign their names, with some adding messages that will be preserved inside the finished structure indefinitely.
