Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown will be revitalized following a combined investment of more than $47 million from the federal and provincial governments.
Announced by Minister Lawrence MacAulay; MP Sean Casey; MP Heath MacDonald; MP Bobby Morrissey; Premier Dennis King; Minister Ernie Hudson; and Chief Executive Officer Steve Bellamy, this project is expected to reduce the facility's energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
The renovations will include upgrades to the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system, and the installation of windows, insulation, lighting, and meter and control equipment. New solar panels will also be installed. The interior will be reconfigured using mass timber for energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions.
This project will create greener spaces for programming and learning opportunities, enriching the community, boosting the region's arts sector, and expanding existing partnerships with Indigenous communities.
