The federal government is making generational investments in infrastructure through the Build Communities Strong Fund.
Today, Terry Duguid, Member of Parliament for Winnipeg South, announced a federal investment of $7.5 million towards the first phase of development of a new arena and expanded recreational facilities at the Dakota Community Centre.
The Centre is a vibrant hub, offering a wide range of recreational, cultural, leisure, and sports programming and activities for people of all ages. Federal funding will support an expansion to include a fully accessible arena that includes dressing rooms, a new rink, and a modern fitness area and ice plant. Additionally, the community will benefit from expanded childcare facilities and be able to gather in one of the new multipurpose spaces.
This expansion will improve accessibility, increase energy efficiency, and ensure the centre can serve the community in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way. The improved facilities will help the centre continue its mission to bring the community together year-round, serving as a gathering place for recreation and events for years to come.
