West Central Events Centre To Receive Lifecycle Upgrade To Refrigeration Plant
Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities, Dominic LeBlanc, and Saskatchewan’s Government Relations Minister Don McMorris, announced joint funding of more than $19.7 million for 25 infrastructure projects in the province.
One of the projects receiving funding is the construction of new facilities at the First Nations University of Canada’s Land-based Learning Centre in Regina. The center will provide Indigenous teaching and learning opportunities and will feature cabins, shower and washroom facilities, a mess hall with a kitchen, water and wastewater infrastructure, a permanent sweat lodge structure, and an outdoor learning center.
In Estevan, the Leisure Centre will be improved with funding. The rehabilitation of the rooftop for increased sustainability and the replacement of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to reduce carbon emissions will be part of the project.
In Kindersley, the West Central Events Centre will receive a lifecycle upgrade of its refrigeration plant, increasing energy efficiency and making the facility greener. The facility will also have leaky exterior doors replaced and LED lighting installed to reduce energy consumption.
Rural areas in the province will also see infrastructure improvements, including bridge replacements in the rural municipalities of Big Stick No. 141, Biggar No. 347, and Laurier No. 38, improving transportation. Decommissioning of five landfills for the villages of Climax, Ceylon, Harris, and the towns of Lumsden and Milestone will also be supported to protect the environment.
LeBlanc stated, “The investments announced today will create opportunities for Saskatchewanians to build a better future for themselves, their families and their communities. We will continue working with our partners to support rural and Indigenous communities across Saskatchewan.”
McMorris added, “Our government is investing nearly $9 million in provincial funding toward these 25 vital infrastructure projects. These investments will increase Indigenous cultural learning opportunities, provide recreational opportunities, improve our rural transportation system, and support our environment. We will continue to build a stronger Saskatchewan that is home to a strong economy, strong communities and strong families.”
