Some financial support from the Federal government to get a proposed Events Centre in Red Lake off the ground.
Kenora MP Bob Nault has announced $110,850 for the project.
The money comes from the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund.
The funding will help support the development of engineering drawings for the new facility.
The multi-purpose facility would include a 300-seat theatre and an arena that would provide the community and surrounding area with a much-needed event and performance space.
Nault says “As Northerners, we know how vibrant and bright our culture is, and the Red Lake Events Centre will be a place where we can really showcase the North.”
Mayor Fred Mota says engineered drawings for this facility is an essential step in order to move forward with the exciting initiative.
Mota adds a Performing Arts Centre within the Regional Events, Arts and Cultural Hub facility will allow residents and visitors alike to have access to a variety of art, culture and heritage experiences in Red Lake.
