School District 47 has received $17,500 to help pay for renovations at Oceanview Education Centre. The School Community Connection grant comes as part of $10 million that was set aside by the province in 2005 for cooperative projects between the Union of BC Municipalities and the BC School Trustees Association. The district has received money from the fund for various projects over the years including lights for Brooks Secondary School’s turf field and planning the facilities at Haywire Bay.
