TRACADIE (GNB) – The provincial government is investing $50,000 towards infrastructure improvements at l’Académie Sainte-Famille, a community-use building in Tracadie.

“Our investment will transform some much-needed space for use by members of the community,” said Education and Early Childhood Development Minister Serge Rousselle.

Rousselle participated in the announcement today on behalf of Health Minister Victor Boudreau, who is also the minister responsible for the Regional Development Corporation.

The investment with the Société Culturelle des Tracadilles will be used to make infrastructure improvements to the third floor of the academy, a provincial historical building that once served as a school, boarding school, orphanage and health-care facility. The building is now being used by the community for courses as well as arts, cultural and heritage activities.
