CHURCHILL, MAN. — The Province of Manitoba has announced it will fund significant repairs and restoration work for the Churchill Town Centre Complex (CTCC) and its theatre in Churchill, Man.
The 225,000-square-foot complex holds the town’s school, hospital, personal care home, arena, theatre, bowling alley, curling rink, child-care centre, gymnasium, radio station, industrial arts centre, library, playground, pool and fitness centre.
Priority work will occur in phases for the complex’s roof and mould and asbestos remediation will also take place in the theatre.
“This centre is an important hub for Churchill residents and those from surrounding communities, providing everything from recreation activity to hospital and personal care. Due to harsh weather conditions and storm damage, extensive maintenance is required to stabilize and protect the centre, and ensure a clean and safe environment,” said Manitoba Municipal Relations Minister Jeff Wharton in a statement.
The province will issue public tenders for bids to undertake the projects, with exact repair costs confirmed after tenders are received and reviewed, a provincial release explained.
“Churchill is a unique and valuable asset, not only for Manitoba but to Canada as a whole,” said Manitoba Finance Minister Cameron Friesen.
“We are pleased to invest in major repairs to the town centre complex and we’ll continue to stand with the community of Churchill during these challenging times.”
Roof and theatre repairs are estimated for completion by fall 2018.
