The Manitoba government is investing in capital upgrades for Brandon’s Keystone Centre, Indigenous and Municipal Relations Minister Eileen Clarke and Agriculture Minister Ralph Eichler announced.
“The Keystone Centre is a significant part of the city of Brandon and the local economy,” said Clarke. “We are investing in this facility to ensure it will continue to serve residents, businesses and visitors to the Westman region for years to come.”
Clarke confirmed the Keystone Centre will receive $375,000 for capital upgrades in the 2017-18 fiscal year, in addition to a $375,000 operating grant, for a total of $750,000 from the province.
“Our government recognizes the important economic and social contribution of the Keystone Centre for western Manitoba and especially for our agriculture industry,” said Eichler. “Each year, the Keystone Centre becomes a hub for agriculture activity as the host venue of our province’s marquee industry events. This investment by the province will enable the facility to continue as a leading event centre in western Canada.”
