The federal government is providing more than $1.9 million to renovate Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum.

The area’s Liberal MP, Dan Vandal, made the announcement in the community Tuesday.

The federal funding is through the Community Spaces Fund component of the Official Languages Support Programs.

The first major infrastructure project at the museum since 1991 involves strengthening the roof structure, upgrading energy systems, restoring windows, replacing damaged exterior finishes, refurbishing the lobby and reception area, resurfacing the floor and building an accessibility ramp.

Work began in June 2024 and is expected to be completed in 2026, in time for celebrations of the 175th anniversary of the building’s completion.
