BRANDON — Members of the Manitoba government launched a funding spree as they descended on the province’s second-largest city for their party’s annual convention.

Premier Wab Kinew held a news conference to announce the province will spend another $1 million for reconstruction of Park Community Centre in Brandon.

The fully reconstructed centre, which will open in about two years, will include 68 daycare spaces, a kitchen and a new main hall. In total, the province is chipping in $7 million, the City of Brandon will spend $1.4 million and $100,000 will come from Heritage Co-op.

“We’re really excited about this. This is going to bring child care and recreational and social space to a new level in this part of Brandon. But importantly, this is a hub for community,” Kinew said.
