Canada and Ontario are supporting infrastructure investments to renovate and expand Massey Hall ? Canada?s oldest functioning concert hall ? a move that will boost Ontario?s tourism and culture sector.?? Totalling $60 million, the new funding will support the revitalization project led by KPMB Architects and GBCA Architecture.
James Maloney, Member of Parliament for Etobicoke-Lakeshore, on behalf of the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, federal Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, joined Minister of Infrastructure Monte McNaughton and Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport Michael Tibollo today to show Canada and Ontario?s commitment for Phase 2 of the Massey Hall Revitalization project. Ontario is investing $30 million, which has been matched by the Government of Canada.? ?Our government?s investment will enable the historic Massey Hall to continue promoting the arts and inspiring future generations of Canadian artists,? said MP Maloney, on behalf of the federal Minister of Infrastructure and Communities. ?Cultural spaces like Massey Hall celebrate diversity, support vibrant and inclusive communities, and create more jobs.?
???Massey Hall is a memory maker,? said Minister McNaughton. ?The Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo and Gordon Lightfoot have all performed on its legendary stage. Our government?s investment today means those memories will continue for generations to come.??
