Standing in the bitter cold on the steps of the gazebo in Victoria Square, Northumberland-Quinte West MP, Rick Norlock announced a federal Heritage Funding grant of $17,100. The grant will be used to improve the ventilation in the Castleton Town Hall where valued books and artifacts have suffered from problems related to dampness.
"I am proud to be part of a government that values the preservation of this knowledge," stated the MP.
Colborne 150th Chair, and Cramahe councillor, Pat Westrope commented, "I am delighted to receive these funds. Preservation of pictures and artifacts of a historical nature is important to the present and future community of Cramahe Township."
The money, most of which will arrive in the near future, will pay for exterior filtration, window treatments, and archival cabinetry and storage units for historical material being stored and displayed there.
