Podcast – Renovating schools differently
26 May 2026
In this episode, Éric and Dominic, President and Vice-President of Labour Relations and Professional Life, will discuss the challenges related to school renovations, in a context marked by aging buildings and significantly rising costs. With more than half of schools in a state of disrepair, they question the systematic use of subcontracting, which often contributes to increased expenses and more complex interventions.
The podcast will highlight a clear reality: school support staff already possess the necessary expertise to meet many needs on the ground. By valuing internal teams, developing their skills, and simplifying work organization, it is possible to improve the effectiveness of interventions while controlling costs.
Through concrete examples, the speakers will demonstrate that an approach centered on internal resources not only allows for more proactive building maintenance but also strengthens the sense of belonging and the quality of learning environments.
