The provincial government says replacing provincial government infrastructure destroyed by the wildfires last summer will be part of longer-term planning as the region rebuilds.

Education Minister Paul Dinn says that includes deciding whether to rebuild Cabot Academy in Western Bay which was leveled by fire.

The students have been dispersed. Many are now attending school in Carbonear, with others accommodated at Persalvic in Victoria and Tricon (TRY-Con) in Bay de Verde.

Dinn says the province is fully engaged with residents in the area and the Cabinet Committee is working closely with those on the ground to support recovery efforts.
