RED LAKE – Bob Nault, Member of Parliament (Kenora riding), on behalf of the Honorable Pablo Rodriguez, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Multiculturalism, announced $110,850 in funding for the Red Lake Events Centre.
Today’s announcement shows how the Government of Canada is supporting the creation and renovation of cultural spaces to promote better access to heritage and the arts for everyone,” stated Nault. “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.”

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. Engineered drawings for this facility is an essential step in order to move forward with this exciting initiative,” states Fred Mota, Mayor, Municipality of Red Lake
