BTEC building construction moving towards completion
While the spotlight might have been on the construction of its new building, The Battlefords Trade and Education Centre (BTEC) executive director said the community’s support of the project was the best part of her year.
“…we got that $2.3 million raised and My Community Cares really stepped up,” Mona Leece said adding the Cares fundraising campaign reached its $2.3 million goal in November.
The centre’s new building has been under construction for roughly a year and Leece said the organization should be able to move in come September.
Some big improvements include better heating and air conditioning, larger spaces for activities both established programs and new ones. The building is also one floor, an advantage over its current location for people with vision and mobility problems.
