SAINT-MATHIEU-DE-RIOUX, QUE. – The governments of Canada and Quebec are each investing over $127,000 to upgrade the Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux municipal library in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec.
The funding will come from the New Building Canada Fund, Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component – Small Communities Fund. The Municipality of Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux will also invest more than $127,000, bringing the total investment to over $382,000.
