The library in the Fort McMurray Composite High School will be getting an upgrade thanks to the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation Literacy Grant. The school was one of only two schools that received the grant within the province of Alberta.

Back in 2020, the school suffered serious damages due to a flood that entered the building, and the library was one of the many areas heavily damaged.

Danny Tulk, principal of Fort McMurray Composite High School, says that he is excited the grant can be used to help with the new upgrades within the school’s library

Along with Tulk, staff members, including the librarian, are also excited about getting the grant to help replace the books that were lost due to the flood.

Tulk says that the Indigo grant will also be used to help upgrade their First Nations and Inuit area, and to help students learn about the rich history of Indigenous culture and to help it grow.
