Today is a big, big day in my little world as provincial Heritage Minister and for the people of New Brunswick as the renewed New Brunswick Museum - Musée du Nouveau-Brunswick is officially announced with nearly $108 million in new provincial and federal funding (an additional $8 million was spent before for design and preparations).
Our provincial museum is our largest story book, of sorts, capturing the stories of who we are as New Brunswickers and how we got here.
After 44 iterations of a new museum over 50 years, finally getting this project to the finish line has been so important to me in helping shape New Brunswick’s future. As I work along on big files I sometimes forget to reflect on some of the rewards along the way which I have been able to experience with things like bringing the World Juniors to NB last year, taking on and rebranding the Fundy Trail Provincial Park and securing the PGA tournament at Mactaquac Park this summer. These, and more including funding and support for initiatives in the riding, are things I get real excited about. 🙂
Congratulations to the board of directors at the New Brunswick Museum on this incredibly exciting day.
