A new general contractor is needed for the new Parry Sound JK-12 school and childcare facility. This after Education Minister Paul Callandra terminated the contract of the now-former general contractor. In a letter to parents, the Near North District School Board said the decision was made after an extensive review, including formal notices of default and opportunity for the contractor to resolve outstanding concerns. NNDSB has regained full control of the project and remains committed to delivering the state-of-the-art school safely and on target for opening in September. “We will secure a new general contractor and maintain close oversight of the project to support a smooth transition and minimize disruption,” states the letter.
