The Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) held a groundbreaking ceremony at the new Riverside Public School site on Wednesday, September 9, 2015.

Representative from the WRDSB, Region of Waterloo, Kingsland + Architects, and Tambro Construction, along with local dignitaries were all on-site to celebrate the reconstruction.

The new JK – 6 school will be built in the new development west of the present school building, located at 250 William Street. It will serve approximately 557 students and have a child care centre operated by the Region of Waterloo. Construction for the new Riverside PS will start this Fall, and is scheduled to open in September 2016.
