The Centennial Concert Hall is about to undergo $15 million worth of repairs after the provinces committed to investing in the project.

A new roof and restoration and repair of the stone cladding on the entire building are part of the project.

“While the facility is safe for occupancy, we need to make investments to preserve this wonderful venue and ensure the safety of the many thousands of people who visit each year,” said Crowns Services Minister Colleen Mayer.  “That is why we are replacing the entire roof on priority basis and committing to other important work throughout the building.” 

The structural acoustical shell will also be replaced although costs for that project have not been determined. The province says that a project manager will identify the best engineering and logistics to replace the shell along with costs. In the interim, an electronic acoustical shell will be installed at a cost of $179,000.
