Recreation sites in The Pas get funding boost

The Manitoba government is injecting $3.8 million into recreational and arts facilities in The Pas.

Two years ago, the city’s Lido Theatre burned to the ground. The province will spend $2.5 million rebuilding the arts, culture and education centre. It will be a hub for performances and events, a government news release says.

Another $1.3 million will be spent upgrading the Roy H. Johnston Arena and Kelsey Recreation facilities.

Money comes through the province’s Manitoba GRO program.
