 Since 1955 this school has served the students that served the community what's really important about today's announcement is continuing on with that legacy keeping the historical aspect of this building by also ensuring we have safety for our students in this school which is why I'm pleased to announce eleven point six million dollars out of our seismic mitigation plan to this school towards seismically upgrading this school for the safety of our students. Today is a great day for our school and our community this project is an example of the teamwork and strong partnerships a project that will greatly improve the safety for students teachers and staff. In British Columbia you know that we have a strong fiscal program we balance our budgets we create surpluses at the end of our fiscal years we have strong economic growth and fiscal discipline so we are able to fund projects that make a real difference in the lives of British Columbians. I want to say thank you very much to the Minister of Education for his commitment to fund this project and I look forward to many more announcements about seismic upgrading at Vancouver schools and to signing project agreements with the Minister of Education. Finally I want to thank the parents and the PAC group from this school you know it's really important when we have volunteers and people who dedicate their time to students dedicate their time to the community and dedicate their time to really lobbying for what is needed for your students. I want to thank you your voice is important it's one that that we listen to and that's why I think today is a great exciting announcement for me because that's working with the local MLA with the board with the PAC groups it's all about ensuring that we have the best education for our students and the safest opportunities for our kids to have that so thank you very much for coming out today it's real pleasure to be here for part of this announcement
