After two years, students of the St. Cuthbert’s Mission Secondary School will finally be able to use their computer lab following the recent installation of a 6.2kW solar power system at the school.

The new system, which cost $8.7M, was installed by the Hinterland Electrification Company Inc. (HECI) and comprises 24 solar panels, according to a Ministry of Public Infrastructure press release that was issued yesterday.
