Federal funds bolster Vernon’s Schubert Centre

Money will go towards new flooring and refrigeration system

Vernon’s Schubert Centre is undergoing some upgrades.

Colin Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP, announced funding Monday for two initiatives at the seniors centre.

“We have a significant number of seniors in Canada and we need to look at the needs of seniors,” said Mayes.

“It’s partnering with people in the community.”

A total of $23,472 will go towards replacing flooring while there is also $24,378 for a refrigeration unit that will allow the  Schubert Centre to provide a Meals on Wheels program to Vernon seniors.
