The federal government is continuing its support of Ottawa’s Bronson Centre, with a total investment of more than $8 million, which includes approximately $1.6 million from the centre itself.
The modernized facility will better support the 30,000 people who use its services monthly, including Ottawa’s arts and cultural communities, the government said in a news release Thursday.
The funding will support upgrades to the Bronson Centre’s plumbing, fire safety system, two accessible washrooms, and the roof. The project will also upgrade the building’s envelope to help make the centre more resilient to climate impacts.
