Federal Funds Boost Winnipeg Community Centre Facilities

Prairies Economic Development Canada

Winnipeg, Manitoba - PrairiesCan

Community centres are the heart of our neighbourhoods, bringing people together and strengthening community bonds. The Centro Caboto Centre, owned and operated by the Italian Canadian League of Manitoba (ICLM), has been a cultural asset for the Italian community and many other groups that use the centre for events and recreational activities.

During a tour of the facilities, the Honourable Ben Carr, Member of Parliament for Winnipeg South Centre, on behalf the Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister for PrairiesCan, announced a federal investment, through PrairiesCan, of $55,566 for ICLM. This investment was made to enhance community infrastructure through the expansion and creation of community spaces by renovating and improving the Centro Caboto Centre in Winnipeg.

Through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF), the facility now boasts new windows to improve energy efficiency and has enhanced the front entrance with new interior and exterior signage.
