Investing in our cultural infrastructure helps ensure a bright future for our artists and better access to arts and culture for Canadians.
Today, the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Quebec Lieutenant Pablo Rodriguez announced investments in le Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke and le Théâtre Granada. He was joined by Élisabeth Brière, Member of Parliament (Sherbrooke).
Le Musée des beaux-arts is receiving $417,248 through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund program to pay for essential work in maintaining the building's integrity. This includes roof work, foundation waterproofing and cornice repairs.
The Government of Canada is investing $120,121 through the same fund to allow le Théâtre Granada to upgrade specialized equipment. With new, state-of-the-art equipment, the theatre will be able to host a greater number of innovative performances and deliver higher quality performance sound.
