The Armenian Community Centre in St. Catharines will receive more
than $458,000 each from the federal and provincial governments.

The government funding is through the Recreational Infrastructure
Canada program in Ontario and Recreation Ontario.

In a joint federal and provincial announcement made at the centre’s
Martindale Road site today, centre organizes said the money will go
to a new gym, play area and other upgrades.

The centre itself is paying the balance of the $1.375 million project
through sources such as fundraising and a mortgage.

If all goes well, the work could be complete by 2011.
