Generous $7500 donation helps to restore courthouse staircase
The Town of Kerrobert would like to thank Enbridge for their generous donation of $7500.00 towards the front stair restoration of our 101-year-old heritage courthouse building. Thank you, Enbridge, for helping preserve and sustain this beautiful building that showcases the cultural riches we have in our own area through art, literature, and history! This donation towards the Kerrobert Cultural Center stair restoration project was given through their Fueling Futures grant program.
The Town of Kerrobert purchased this building in 1996 to preserve a huge part of our town’s and province’s history and keep it in use for future generations to enjoy. In 1982, knowing its great historical value, Town Council decided that this piece of history needed protection and designated it a municipal heritage property. Over the years since the Town took ownership of the courthouse building, the Kerrobert Museum, the Courtroom Art Gallery and the Wheatland Regional Library have all moved into it, which has successfully repurposed the building into our cultural center. These groups are crucial to the redevelopment of this heritage building through revitalization and enhancing visitor experiences.
The courthouse building has become a beacon for our community and district as a place to converge for business, culture, and history, which everyone can enjoy. Please get in touch with the Town of Kerrobert for more information! Any donation towards the front entrance stair restoration is gratefully accepted.
