As ctv's christian d'avino reports, the project could have an impact here in our region. >> Christian: vaping among youth has increased rapidly across the nation. Hitting school boards here at home. >> I was an elementary school principal for 20 years. I had experience of vaping as young as grade 5. >> Christian: to help with students facing addiction, the simcoe it county catholic school board and the simcoe county district school board will be joining four other boards piloting that will give students access to an app. >> The app basically guides them through wanting to quit. >> Christian: school boards began training staff on how to roll it out last week. A component itself of the province's mandate banning vaping in schools as announced last month. That alongside restrictions on when students can utilize cell phones giving guidance to how students can access the app. >> But only during instructional time. During the rest of the time if they're in school or the students are at home or wherever they are, they are still able to access through the app. >> Canada has some of the highest youth vaping rates in the world. >> Christian: based on the most recent tobacco and vaping survey, 69% of students have never smoked. Quash was developed three years ago to tackle this worsening crisis. It works in two ways. One by the aforementioned app itself and by parents and administrators through educational supports. >> It's a series of web gnars. They can also become become adult facilitator and take a program on our website that allows them to facilitate the quash program. >> Christian: the simcoe county district school board declined to comment.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police. >>> Construction on the roads throughout the city of barrie have been a headache for motorists for a while now. Leaving many to wonder when will it end. As ctv's rob cooper reports, it might be sooner than expected. >> Rob: it's not often that major road work projects get done ahead of schedule. But that's exactly the case for the dunlop street interchange trunk sanitary relocation project by cedar point and dunlop. >> We're working 24-hour shifts so we allowed the contractors to do the 24-hour shift so we can get the work done as quickly as possible so that the businesses aren't impacted as much as they have been. >> Rob: all that's left for the $11 million project is a repaving of the road set for later this month and the grading of the boulevards and sod replacement work which continues today. Businesses in the area admit the last several months of construction and traffic delays have been difficult for their bottom line. >> I'm very pleased it's coming to an end. It's been a long haul. It feels like even customers have said how much more more more can you take. >> Rob: it will be another busy construction season across the city projects underway in which some people seems to be every corner of the city. The duckworth is still taking place in the east end. >> Duckworthy think will be done in 2025. >> Rob: the overpass project as essa and the 400 may not be a city project but it has certainly brought things to a near stand still along essa road in the south end. Many drivers try to avoid the area at all costs but some admit they can't. >> Just to get on to essa road sometimes takes 20 minutes to get three sets of lights it's been a hectic spot of town now it's a lot worse. >> Rob: while drivers will get a break from the road work and congestion by dunlop and cedar point it will be short lived as the province prepares to do its bridge replacement project. I'm told it's expected to start next year and will take four years to complete. Rob cooper, ctv news, barrie. >> Alessandra: staying with development, the county of simcoe held an open house at barrie city hall tonight giving the public a first look at the multimillion dollar development. At the open house, residents were able to view the floor plans for the building and ask questions about the build as well. The development will include two buildings with more than 200 units ranging from 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms for the affordable housing units. One building will be seven storeys while the other will be nine. >> It's very important. One, we want to make sure residents understand what we're proposing in the neighbourhood. We like to hear feedback. And some of the features. We also want to make sure they know what services will be located in the building that they can access. Because what we try to do is make sure we're designing and building whole communities and ensuring that we have a wide variety of service that is the community keeps and not just the residents. >> Alessandra: the county hopes to have shovels in the ground for the rose street affordable housing project by the fall and the hope is to have the project fully completed by 2027.
