Investing in Canada's cultural infrastructure contributes to the vitality of our communities and lets them come together around our culture.
The Minister of Canadian Heritage and Quebec Lieutenant, Pablo Rodriguez, announced $1,950,000 in funding today for the Louis-Hémon Museum through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund.
This funding will allow the museum to relocate its activities to Espace Péribonka, a brand-new space in the heart of the municipality. The project includes the renovation of Saint-Édouard-de-Péribonka Church (to present a new permanent exhibition), as well as the restoration of the Samuel-Bédard House (a listed heritage property) and three commemorative monuments.
These new spaces will offer the public exciting experiences and allow the Museum to revitalize its programming, focusing on a young clientele.
