So this was announced re: one of my favourite federal museums in Ottawa the other day:
The Canada Science and Technology Museum is expected to reopen in 2017 after several major upgrades, the government announced Monday.
About $80.5 million in funding was announced by Canadian Heritage Minister Shelly Glover...
The money will cover the costs of a new roof, an upgraded facade, updates to the exhibit space and a retrofit of the building to meet updated fire and earthquake-resistance codes.
A couple of sidebars:
1) I get why John Baird showed up, but why my own riding's MP thought it was important to do so as well...?
2) That we all have to wait until 2017 in the best-case-as-announced scenario...
