Kitsilano Secondary is one of nearly 300 at risk schools in BC that are part of the 15 year, $1.5 billion seismic upgrade program approved back in 2005. Progress has been slow (only 14 upgrades out of the 300 were completed by September 2008), but Kitsilano Secondary appears next.
As part of the upgrading process, Kits Secondary will be hosting a Visioning Workshop tomorrow, Saturday Feb. 14th, from 9:30am until 3:30pm. From the announcement [PDF]:
Kitsilano Secondary is due for seismic upgrading, creating an extraordinary opportunity to rethink our school, and bring innovation to learning. Help us chart our future by attending this workshop with featured speakers and facilitated break-out sessions.
If you’re interested in participating in the workshop, please call 1.866.383.0304 ext. 32 or email kitssecondary@cityspaces.ca.
If you’re busy or don’t want to commit the whole day, there is also an open house, tonight (Friday Feb. 13th 7-9pm) and tomorrow (Saturday Feb. 14th 9.30am-3.30pm).

Time to say goodbye to the old school. A better capital project is needed. Build a new school.
