Queenston School’s new gym will be 800-square-feet larger -- big enough for broader community use.
A community group has raised the $295,000 necessary to build the gym larger than the elementary school size that the province was willing to finance.
Expected to open in 2014, the Sheilah Sweatman Gymnasium will be named after local hero Sheilah Sweatman, who died while on a search and rescue mission in British Columbia last year at age 29.
Built in 1931, the nursery to Grade 6 River Heights elementary school has never had a real gym, only a multipurpose room.
