Today, the Honourable Pablo Rodriguez, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Quebec Lieutenant, and Mathieu Lacombe, Quebec's Minister of Culture and Communications, Minister Responsible for Youth and Minister Responsible for the Abitibi-Témiscamingue Region and the Outaouais Region, announced a joint investment of $2,200,800 for the construction of a new library in Saint‑Colomban.
The project will enable Saint-Colomban to open a second library in the city, which will help meet the needs of a rapidly growing population. This new building, measuring 1,048 square feet, will also house a CréaLab, which will provide residents with access to a state-of-the-art digital creation workshop.
The Government of Canada is investing $1,100,400 in this project. The Government of Quebec is also investing $1,100,400 through its Programme Aide au développement des infrastructures culturelles (PADIC). Saint-Colomban will contribute over $4.6 million to the project.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our economy, increasing the resiliency of our communities and improving the lives of Canadians.
