Some $1.9 million in funding is from Canada Cultural Spaces Fund and he provincial government is contributing another $1.4 million for improvements to the centres in St. John’s, Gander, Grand Falls-Windsor, Corner Brook, Stephenville and Labrador City.
In St. John’s, the money will be used to replace 50-year-old seats in the main theatre, audio-visual upgrades, an accessible entrance for the Barbara Barrett Theatre and more.
