Exciting News from the Pictou Waterfront!

When all levels of government work together it can mean great things for our communities!

August 2022

I had the chance to announce that we’re making a federal investment of $6 million for the creation of a new culture hub on the site of the deCoste Centre in Pictou!

This funding will expand the deCoste Centre to include a new modern public library, a fully renovated theatre, visual arts and exhibition facilities, and meeting space for other culture and community groups.

Additionally, the new Cultural Hub will also have accessibility features to make it more inclusive and will benefit from a major reduction in energy consumption.

I want to thank all three levels of government along with Troy Greencorn, Executive Director of the deCoste Centre for Arts & Creativity, for their partnership in this significant announcement.

Major investments like these ensure that we are prepared to meet the demand of our growing communities. I can’t wait to see this new addition that will showcase our arts and culture sector on the waterfront as soon as next year!
