Winnipeg Manitoba - The Neeginan Centre is getting infrastructure upgrades after an investment of more than $21.1 million from the federal government.
 
This was announced by Minister Dan Vandal and Kevin Chief, Neeginan Centre Board Member.
 
The Neeginan Centre is an important hub in downtown Winnipeg that provides programs and services to support the educational, social, and economic needs of indigenous peoples in the community.
 
Incorporated in 1990, this non-profit organization operates in the historic Canadian Pacific Railway Station located at Higgins and Main.
 
Funding will support improvements to this 100-year-old heritage building to address safety, accessibility, and environmental concerns.
 
This work will include upgrades to the building's envelope, lighting, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems, resulting in energy savings and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
 
These efforts will help ensure that the centre can keep serving indigenous communities for generations to come.
