The Canora Community League will benefit from building improvements and energy efficient upgrades after an investment of $679,513 from the federal government.
Funding will support the retrofit of the community hub, which includes an improved insulation system, the installation of solar features, and additional climate resilience enhancements.
Interior renovations will include a widened entryway, upgraded bathrooms, and new flooring to improve accessibility for the community. Exterior building improvements include improved signage and the installation of geo-thermal heating and solar panels, which will create more sustainable sources of energy, reducing costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
The Canora Community League is a longstanding hub constructed over 50 years ago and serves a growing, diverse community. The facility provides a variety of programming and events, and offers amenities such as an outdoor skating rink, basketball court, and skate park for the community. In addition, upgrades to the hall will enable the building to be used as a shelter in the event of a natural disaster or power outages.
