Deb Schulte, Member of Parliament (King-Vaughan), on behalf of the Honourable Melanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage, last month announced $474,052 in funding for the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.

The funding, provided by the Government of Canada through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund, will be used to make improvements to the Meeting House, a programming and meeting space adjacent to the gallery's main building.

The renovations will increase physical accessibility for all users, including visitors with disabilities, and create an optimized programming area.

"The Government of Canada is committed to investing in Canada's cultural infrastructure. Revitalized cultural facilities allow Canadians to share and enjoy the inspiring influences of arts and heritage,”- Deb Schulte, Member of Parliament (King-Vaughan).
