The Ontario government says it is investing nearly $10 million to build and upgrade two schools in London, Ontario.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the provincial government said the investment will aim to support the creation of 300 student spaces and 88 licensed childcare spaces.

The first project involves $7.2 million in improvements to the Eagle Heights Public School at 284 Oxford St. W. It will add 300 new spaces for elementary students.

The other project will see the government provide $2.7 million for a new childcare center at Northeast London Primary School on a London site to be acquired.

This project includes adding 88 child care spaces, an infant room, two toddler rooms, and two preschool rooms.

“The projects are part of a province-wide investment of more than $600 million to support new school and child care spaces,” the statement read. “The total investment will support 78 projects related to school and childcare.”
