The project will involve improvements to the building’s interior design, renovations to the centre, purchase of furniture and equipment, expansion of programs and more. In a release, centre officials say its Board of Directors and team members have been working to secure support from the three levels of government. More details on that will be announced next month.

Celtic Music Interpretive Centre operations manager Reilly Graham said people from all over the world visit the centre, noting it is the official Celtic music  centre of the province and official cultural archive for Inverness County.

About 40 per cent of the money to be raised will go towards replacing the centre’s roof.
