A temporary solution has been found for students at a Regina inner city school who lost their gym a few months ago after it was deemed structurally unsound.
Work will begin soon to convert a neighboring building into a gym.
The cost will be about $1.5 million, with the government providing a million dollars of that and the Catholic school board providing the rest.
Education minister Russ Marchuk says this is an interim solution.
Most of the students at Sacred Heart community school are aboriginal.
They have excelled in recent years, dramatically improving reading skills and reaching new highs in graduation numbers.
The school was built in 1928.
It has been on the re-build list since 2007.
