The provincial government has announced $9.6 million in additional funding for the long-awaited expansion of a Surrey, B.C., elementary school. Premier John Horgan and Education Minister Rob Fleming made the announcement Thursday at Sullivan Elementary in the southeast of the city. Horgan says work on the entire $15 million addition is now underway and is expected to be completed by September 2020. The expansion will include a larger gym and library, as well as eight more classrooms to replace existing portables. Horgan says his government has committed $1 billion to education since being sworn in and has made education a cornerstone.
