February 28, 2014 - Montréal, Quebec – Infrastructure Canada
The Honourable Shelly Glover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages and Member of Parliament for Saint Boniface, accompanied by Alain Dancyger, Director General of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal, today announced priority funding of up to $7 million for a project to relocate Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal.
The project would see Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal, the internationally renowned company, relocated to new offices in the Wilder Building. The project calls for the construction of two dance studios, built to international standards, which will improve rehearsal conditions for dancers. A production studio will also be designed, allowing the dance company to pursue its creative endeavours. The building will include four training and technical studios, including the new National Dance Therapy Centre, a recreation division, faculty offices and technical support locker rooms.
