Ginette Lavack, federal MP for Saint-Boniface-Saint-Vital, has announced a new federal investment of $400,000 for the Musée de Saint-Boniface. The museum, located in a historic building designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1958, is celebrating its 175th anniversary. The building, originally a convent, has been used as a hospital, school, and museum, and is the oldest building in Winnipeg and the largest oak log structure in North America.
The funding, from the Canadian Heritage Legacy Fund, will help with restoration work, including the next phase of repairs to the windows, exterior envelope, and main entrance accessibility.
