The Government of Canada is investing more than $2.8 million to support two cultural infrastructure projects in New Brunswick.
This funding will help to create new and improved spaces for artists and cultural organizations to create, produce, and present their work. It will also help to make cultural experiences more accessible to Canadians and visitors alike.
“Our government is committed to investing in cultural infrastructure because we know that it is essential to the vitality of our communities,” said the Honourable Pablo Rodriguez, Minister of Canadian Heritage. “These projects will help to create new opportunities for artists and cultural organizations, and they will make cultural experiences more accessible to all Canadians.”
The funding will be used to support the following projects:
- The City of Moncton will receive $1.5 million to renovate and expand the Capitol Theatre. This project will create a new state-of-the-art performance space, as well as new rehearsal and office space for the theatre company.
- The Village Historique Acadien in Caraquet will receive $1.3 million to build a new interpretive centre. This centre will tell the story of the Acadian people and their culture.
“These investments will have a significant impact on the cultural landscape of New Brunswick,” said René Arseneault, Member of Parliament for Madawaska-Restigouche. “They will help to create new opportunities for artists and cultural organizations, and they will make cultural experiences more accessible to all Canadians.”
The Government of Canada’s investment in cultural infrastructure is part of its commitment to supporting the arts and culture sector. This sector is a vital part of the Canadian economy, and it contributes to the social and cultural well-being of our communities.
