Progress Update

It has been a busy few months working towards getting all the pieces in place for the expansion. Here is an update of what has occurred over the past several months:


  • In January we hired IDL Projects Inc to work with us on the preconstruction phase of the project



  • In February we learned from the City that we needed an architect on the project and so we hired Charlie Maddison of Boni Maddison Architects out of Vancouver



  • In March we hired the various engineers needed on the project including mechanical, electrical, civil, geotechnical and structural



  • In April we hired our mechanical and electrical contractors and gathered a staff team together


We are currently working on finalizing the building plan and the budget. Once we have the detailed plan and budget completed and approved by the Cedars Christian School Board, we will need to:



  1. Go through Design Panel with the City



  2. Submit the plans and budget for approval from the Jim Pattison Foundation



  3. Begin Construction!!!


We are all anxiously awaiting this new building with a brand new High School gymnasium and specialty classrooms. Please continue to pray for the success of this project and for everything to fall into place. There are many moving parts and we need God's hand and blessing on each aspect of this expansion.



The verse that has been on my heart and mind throughout this process is Psalm 127:1, "Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labour in vain". We are excited to see where God is taking us as a school community this coming year!
