Funding Announced for the New Barrhaven Downtown
This civic building housing a library, cultural space, and seniors centre will be a main pillar of the Barrhaven Downtown project!
The Government of Canada is investing more than $20.8 million in these projects through the Community, Culture, and Recreation Stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. The Government of Ontario is providing over $17.3 million, while recipients and partners are contributing over $13.8 million in total.
Among the projects announced today is the construction of the Barrhaven Downtown in Nepean. This new cultural hub will include the construction of a 15,000 square foot cultural centre, a 3,000 square foot seniors’ space, and an over 25,000 square foot library. Once complete, this project will provide residents in Ottawa with a cultural hub that will foster social interactions and community engagement for years to come.
