A new net-zero community centre will be built in Mary's Harbour after an investment of over $24 million from the federal government.
This was announced today by Parliamentary Secretary Yvonne Jones, Nunacor CEO Andy Turnbull, Mayor Alton Rumbolt, and NunatuKavut Community Council President Todd Russell.
The new 10,000+ square foot building will include a reception area, a NunatuKavut tourism visitor information centre, a cultural space with interpretive displays on the history and culture of the NunatuKavut Inuit of southern and central Labrador, as well as office space and a renewable energy learning centre. The centre will also include community meeting rooms.
The facility will be primarily solar-powered, and will have an inclusive design to allow accessibility and use for everyone.
