The federal money was announced in a press release from Brandon-Souris Conservative MP Merv Tweed today.
“By supporting the Dome Building restoration, our government is delivering on its commitment to strengthen our economy and support our arts, culture, and heritage,” Tweed said. “The Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba has worked tirelessly on this project through fundraising and overwhelming volunteer support. I commend them for putting together an excellent plan and team.”
