The project consists of the construction of a new multi-use space to hold cultural and social events in Inuvik, Northwest Territories. The project scope consists of constructing an 1,800 square foot cultural space within a new 4,000 square foot building. The cultural space will include: • A large multi-purpose room with space to host activities that focus on social and cultural activities and programs, as well as recreational programs for elders; • A fully equipped kitchen; • Dedicated washrooms that will include handicap accessibility; • Technology for presentations; and • Equipment for processing and preserving country foods. The remainder of the building (2,200 square feet) is not eligible under Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program and is not receiving federal funding. The project will result in providing an indoor space to facilitate and improve community assembly for cultural and recreational purposes.
