Conseil scolaire acadien provincial (CSAP) to upgrade the Chéticamp Cultural Quarter (CCQ).
The Government of Nova Scotia, through the Department of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage, is also contributing $1.5 million through the Canada-Nova Scotia Agreement on Minority-Language Education and Second Official-Language Instruction.
These investments will support several upgrades to the Chéticamp Cultural Quarter – a multifunctional arts facility and annex of École NDA. The improvements will include a conference room, art gallery, artist studios, a 200-seat theatre, a community library and a café. The facility will also be equipped with new, state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment.
The facility will give community members and students a place to come together to create, practice and perform, while offering a range of Acadian art and culture experiences for visitors and residents to enjoy.
