Regional District Renews 5 Year funding for Museum and Art Gallery
By 250 News
Prince George, B.C.- The Regional District of Fraser Fort George will continue to provide operational funding for Exploration Place and Two Rivers Gallery.
Both facilities are a part of the Regional Cultural Plan, which was approved by the Board in September 2010. Five year funding contracts are a core component of the Board’s renewed five-year commitment towards culture and heritage within the region as they provide operating certainty for the funded agencies and enhance their cultural offerings to visitors.
Over the five years, Exploration Place will receive $3.63 million, and Two Rivers Gallery will receive $2.25million.
As part of the funding agreements, both sites have committed to provide regional programming, outreach and support to other regional cultural facilities. Contracts with the other six sites will be brought forward early in 2011.

The city of Prince George has 75,000 people, the surrounding regional area has another 50,000 people. Yet it is the city residence that pays the taxes that subsidizes pool, library, soccer and ball fields, etc.
