Ottawa, Ontario, December 5, 2024 - Ottawa's Bronson Centre is getting significant upgrades after a total investment of more than $8 million from the federal government and the Centre itself. The modernized facility will better support the 30,000 people who use its services monthly, including Ottawa's arts and cultural communities.
Funding through the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings program will support essential upgrades to Bronson Centre's plumbing, fire safety system, two accessible washrooms, and the roof. The project will also upgrade the building's envelope to help make the Centre more resilient to climate impacts. These upgrades will improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, and help ensure that the Centre remains an affordable, sustainable, and welcoming space for the community to gather, connect, and enjoy cultural events.
This project is also backed by additional federal funding from Employment and Social Development Canada's (ESDC's) Enabling Accessibility Fund and the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario's (FedDev Ontario) Canada Community Revitalization Fund and Tourism Growth Program.
