Ontario is working to address a provincewide school repair shortfall by increasing the number of new school builds.

Education Minister Jill Dunlop says the province has doubled funding for school construction and is building 240 new schools.

A report from the province’s fiscal watchdog says it would cost Ontario $31.4 billion over 10 years to clear the current backlog of school repair needs.
