The transformation of the former Doctor MacDougall public elementary school in North Bay will begin in about 30 days.
The Nipissing DSSAB has awarded the $5 million-plus project to Vennasse Construction of North Bay after sifting through about a half dozen bids.
DSSAB CEO Joe Bradbury says Venasse will totally modernize the former school which, once complete will offer children’s services that are Aboriginal culturally based.
However, Bradbury says the centre’s children’s services will be all-in
