Trustees with the Brandon School Division have awarded a Winnipeg company the contract to build the division’s next school.

The tender from Fresh Projects in the amount of $22,679,187 was the lowest bid for the construction of the new K-8 Maryland Park School.

Fresh Projects, a Winnipeg based company, will start the work this winter on Maryland Park School. It will be built not far from Crocus Plains Regional Secondary School at the corner of Maryland Avenue and Ninth Street.


The Brandon School Division received10 bids in total. Four of these were local bids. The tender was unanimously awarded to Fresh Projects as they had submitted the lowest bid.

While Fresh Projects isn’t a local company, approximately $10 million dollars of the work associated with the construction will be sub-contracted out to several local contractors.
