BERWICK, N.S. — A construction and renovation project at the Kings Mutual Century Centre, also known as the Apple Dome, is moving forward thanks to joint funding from the Governments of Canada and Nova Scotia.
Work will involve the construction of a new curling facility, a fitness centre and a health centre.
Renovations are also needed to accommodate meeting and change rooms and the storage and maintenance areas will be updated as well.
With these new features and expanded potential for recreation and health, the Apple Dome will continue to serve as a gathering place for friends and families in Kings County for decades to come, states a release issued March 16.
The governments of Canada and Nova Scotia are each contributing up to $1.6 million to this project through the Small Communities Fund.
The Town of Berwick is contributing $2.2 million, and through fundraising efforts, the Kings Mutual Century Centre Committee is contributing the remaining amount of the total project costs of $5.4 million.
"Not only does it add to the recreation and health opportunities for the community, it will attract people and businesses to the area," said Jane Bustin, deputy mayor of the Town of Berwick, in a statement.
"The Town is proud of the support it provides to the facility and the role it has played in the partnership between the Berwick and District Community Association, the Berwick Curling Club, the Berwick and District Lions Club and various community members."
