APITIPI ANICINAPEK NATION, ONT. — Upgrades and an expansion will be taking place at the Apitipi Anicinapek Nation Community Centre, thanks to a federal government investment of over $2.9 million.
The funding will come from the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings program.
The Community Centre is the hub of the Apitipi Anicinapek Nation, bringing recreation, classes and services to the community and is where the community gathers for celebrations, language teachings, shared meals and shelters in an emergency, indicates a release. The green and inclusive changes at the centre are expected to revitalize the community space.
Improvements to the building will make it more accessible to a wider range of people and environmental improvements will include upgrading interior and exterior insulation and the HVAC and cooling systems as well as installing solar panels.
The building will also be expanded, resulting in more space for Elders to gather, increased capacity for Cree and Algonquin language teachings, expanded mental health counselling services, and programs for youth and families.
