Quesnel, B.C.- The City of Quesnel has received just over a quarter of a milliondollars in federal and provincial funding to improve its Arts and Recreation Centre.
The $260,000 in funding is provided through the Canada-B.C. Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund , which enables communities across B.C. to become healthier, greener and more sustainable places to live.
By improving energy efficiencies, the recreational centre will reduce its environmental footprint and generate annual savings of approximately $69,000. The retrofit will also reduce the relative humidity levels within the facility and improve longevity of the swimming pool
“Quesnel is renowned for its rich heritage, vibrant arts community and active recreation programming,” said City of Quesnel Mayor, Nate Bello. “This funding will provide us with a tremendous opportunity to continue to improve efficiencies in the operation of the Arts and Recreation Centre, while incorporating environmentally friendly business practices.”
