Students in various grades at Conrad Elementary School in December learned how to bring communities together with the planning, development, and construction of Prince Rupert’s newest subdivision – Gingerbread Village.
Vice-principal Tania Murray said the project was intense for the students who enjoyed the seasonal project and put to use knowledge in municipal planning, math, governments, and social studies.
The City of Prince Rupert building department assisted with the issuance of appropriate building permits and property standard inspections.
