Six new joint-use schools were built in Saskatoon in the Evergreen, Hampton Village, Rosewood, and Stonebridge neighbourhoods, as well as the communities of Martensville and Warman. Together with three new joint-use schools in Regina, this represented the largest new schools project in Saskatchewan’s history.

 

The new schools accommodate 11,100 students from pre-kindergarten to Grade 8 — 3,300 in Regina, 5,700 in Saskatoon, and 2,100 in Martensville and Warman. Each joint‐use site includes two schools: one public and one Catholic, along with a 90‐space childcare centre and community space. Joint-use schools were co-located so that they share a roof and spaces such as gymnasiums and multipurpose rooms.
