The Western School Division (WSD) board of trustees and Morden-Winkler MLA Cameron Friesen had a discussion about the needs of the Division September 11th.

WSD Chair Brian Fransen said Friesen was aware of the Division's needs and is supportive of what the Division is doing.

Fransen said this was a great opportunity to showcase the growth the Division has seen this year and the need for more space.

"We started the year with two early years classrooms in libraries," said Fransen.

He added they're working together to see what they could do to get the portable classrooms in there a little quicker.

Meanwhile, up next for the board is the challenge of making WSD's presence more known in Winnipeg. The goal of this is to make sure the Division's needs are being looked at there as well.

Fransen said the Division was thankful to have the opportunity to speak with Friesen and is looking forward to working with him in the future.
