As the new school year begins, more student spaces are open and underway to support student learning and growth.  

“Of the hundreds of major capital projects being delivered by my ministry across the province, the new Cloverley Elementary School project in my home community has a very special place in my heart,” said Bowinn Ma, Minister of Infrastructure. “I want to thank the parents, our school district and local community members who never stopped making the case for this new school. Built with mass timber and an energy-efficient design, this is an investment that will serve families in our community for generations to come.”

Since 2017, the Province has invested in 250 capital projects throughout B.C., including seven capital projects in the North Vancouver School District. Six of the projects are complete, including the new Cloverley Elementary school, which is the first elementary school to open in North Vancouver in 35 years.

The new school began construction in September 2024.

Features include 585 new seats, additional space for child care for children younger than age 5, greenhouse gas reduction strategies that will improve energy efficiency and help lower the building’s environmental effect, mass-timber construction, which uses a renewable building material and helps reduce the carbon footprint of construction. 

The Province provided $61 million for the elementary school project.

“North Vancouver is growing and our families need schools that grow with them,” said Antje Wilson, chair, North Vancouver Board of Education. “Cloverley Elementary responds to that need with 585 student seats, child care spaces and a modern learning environment designed for the future. On behalf of the board of education, I want to thank the Province for its investment and the many partners who helped bring this school to life.”
