Vancouver School Board finds temporary classrooms after elementary school's pipes freeze and burst

The Vancouver School Board (VSB) says it has worked to find desks for more than 500 students after flooding at an elementary school put the building out of commission for a number of months. School board staff said water pipes at Sir James Douglas Elementary in South Vancouver froze and burst during the recent cold weather, causing extensive flooding. VSB said staff searched for an alternate location for the school's approximately 525 enrolled students.
