Four communities in the Southern Interior of British Columbia will receive over $2 million in funding from the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund to create memorable outdoor and cultural experiences for residents and visitors.
The funding will support a variety of projects, including the creation of new public art installations, the revitalization of historic buildings, and the development of new outdoor recreation trails.
“These projects will help to make our communities more vibrant and attractive places to live, work, and visit,” said Terry Lake, MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson. “They will also create jobs and boost the local economy.”
The four communities that will receive funding are:
- Kamloops: $1 million for the creation of a new public art installation in the downtown core.
- Kelowna: $500,000 for the revitalization of the historic Capri Hotel.
- Penticton: $300,000 for the development of a new outdoor recreation trail in the Okanagan Mountain Park.
- Vernon: $250,000 for the creation of a new cultural centre in the city’s downtown core.
The Canada Cultural Spaces Fund is a federal government program that provides funding for the creation and improvement of cultural spaces across Canada. The fund has supported over 1,000 projects since its inception in 2001.
“The Canada Cultural Spaces Fund is a valuable investment in our communities,” said Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage. “These projects will help to create vibrant and inclusive public spaces that will be enjoyed by residents and visitors for years to come.”
The projects in the Southern Interior are expected to be completed by 2025.
