MUSEUM RECEIVES FEDERAL GRANT

On July 27th an announcement was made in Vernon by MP Colin Mayes that the
federal government has awarded the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives a
$100,000 grant, as part of the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program.
This grant will be matched by the Regional District of the North Okanagan
bringing the total to $200,000. The funds will be used to replace the
museum's aging roof, upgrade the HVAC and other mechanical, and install much
needed rolling shelves for the storage of artifacts. Work is scheduled to
commence in the spring of 2016.
