It has been a pleasure working with your consortium and the partners. At every stage, and with every question, the parents and PTA were listened to. All requests were entertained with sincerity and we have been impressed that most have been actioned expeditiously. You have done your utmost, often in the face of policy, politics and change, to provide a centre of learning excellence for our children – which is nothing more than every child deserves – and the facilities and infrastructure with which to achieve that aim. You have helped make the parents, teachers and students proud of our show-piece school.

The process of consultation with the board, school and the public by the Nova team has resulted in wide community acceptance of the design and construction process. They have demonstrated particular expertise in school design, management and construction. They have worked extremely well with the general community assisting the board in solving problems with clear communications. I would recommend Nova Learning without reservation. They have been a strong corporate partner of the Southwest Regional School Board.

Under the leadership of President Kirk MacCulloch and Vice-President David Harrison, Nova Learning has pulled together a strong team of professionals to build schools. They have considerable experience and the value of this experience is obvious as they work with our steering committees. Not only are they demonstrating professional expertise in all aspects of the operation, they are openly committed to collaboration with students, staff and parents in designing the school. I have no hesitation in offering a very positive recommendation for Nova Learning Inc. as a partner in the construction of schools.

Nova Learning's enthusiastic approach to design, engineering, project management, facilities management, land development, financing and other services, resulted in the delivery of high quality public school buildings... . A true pioneer in the partnered school concept, Nova exemplifies the team-building, cooperative attitude essential to the success of the public/private partnership.

Over the past three (3) years, I have worked with Kirk Macculloch, as well as two principal members of his staff, David Harrison and Michael Eakin, and have found exemplary cooperation and a prevalent attitude of teamwork. Throughout the design, construction, and operational phases of our new schools, Nova has played an integral role in providing a quality product which meets or exceeds customer requirements. In addition to the demands of the school projects themselves, Nova has provided expertise and invaluable assistance to the Board in promoting and accommodating community interests and opportunities. The Board has enjoyed a most satisfactory experience and I would not hesitate to recommend Nova Learning on the basis of their integrity, commitment, and expertise.
