Feds Fund Cultural Infrastructure in Regina

Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada

Building a strong Saskatchewan and a strong Canada starts with investing in the infrastructure that makes it possible to increase housing supply and empower communities.

The Build Communities Strong Fund is investing $51 billion in a wide range of infrastructure projects across the country that support economic prosperity, housing, sport, culture, education, health, transit, and climate adaptation.

To that end, the Honourable Buckley Belanger, Secretary of State for Rural Development announced a federal investment of more than $7.7 million through the Direct Delivery stream of the Build Communities Strong Fund to support the rehabilitation and modernization of the RCMP Heritage Centre in Regina.

This project will upgrade critical building systems, modernize exhibits, and improve accessibility, which will enhance visitor experience and improve safety, functionality, and sustainability. The RCMP Heritage Centre is a place of discovery, exploration, reflection, and reconciliation, and the funding announced today will help strengthen its role as a nationally significant cultural and tourism institution.

The right infrastructure is essential to unlocking more housing, supporting affordability, and building strong communities. The Build Communities Strong Fund is a cornerstone of the Government of Canada's plan to build the infrastructure needed to build Canada strong - today and for generations to come.
