Our needs in infrastructure are pressing. To be able to justify what we need from a school, we use facilities that are far from being adequate. We are often talking about old schools or rather commercial buildings that were not schools to begin with. You can understand how much of a challenge it can be to create classrooms, let alone spaces for early childhood. In some of our schools, we are managing to create pre-kindergarten classes, but it is becoming increasingly complicated to obtain spaces for early childhood, since schools are already at 100% or at 120% of their capacity.
As far as potential federal support goes, we would need help establishing schools that accommodate children from early childhood to grade 12. An understanding of the importance of schools in necessary; they're at the heart of the francophone community.
