Today, Jenica Atwin, Member of Parliament for Fredericton, and Thomas Smart, Director and CEO of the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, announced a federal investment of more than $1.7 million to modernize Fredericton's Beaverbrook Art Gallery.
This investment will enable the replacement of the original building's roof, exterior walls, insulation, and doors. These improvements are expected to reduce the facility's energy consumption by an estimated 30.4% and greenhouse gas emissions by 124 tonnes annually. This project will make the Beaverbrook Art Gallery a more accessible, inclusive and modern space where all Frederictonians can access cultural and educational programming.
The Beaverbrook Art Gallery has enriched life through art since 1959. New Brunswick's provincial art gallery brings art and community together in a dynamic cultural environment dedicated to the highest standards in exhibitions, programming, education and stewardship.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
