MASSET, B.C. – Students in Masset, B.C. will soon learn in a safer school that includes аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û2023’s first ever tsunami-evacuation tower.
The Government of British Columbia provided more than $16 million for seismic upgrades and a tsunami evacuation tower at Daaxiigan Sk’adáa Née Secondary school, and the Haida Gwaii Board of Education provided $250,000.
The new tsunami evacuation tower is a 10-metre-tall steel structure built on school property that includes storage for emergency supplies, a significant improvement from the former evacuation safe zone located more than 10 kilometres from the school.
The school is now home to Daaxiigan Sk’adáa Née Secondary school and Tahaygen Elementary students as a single-site K-12 facility, which was renovated with a new main entrance, a special-education room and the creation of a secondary Xaad Kil Haida language-learning space.
The picture of the structure doesn’t seem to show a staircase to the second level. Why is that?
Are you nuts, jeez 16 million is a complete waste of money, a little more oversight would have declined this project, tsk, tsk!!!!
