Quebec churches in line for restoration funding

By 
  • November 16, 2011

QUEBEC CITY - Historic churches in Quebec will receive almost $14 million from the provincial government to help with nearly $20 million in restoration and repair work.

Funding from the Ministry of Culture, Communications and the Status of Women will flow to 83 projects through Quebec’s council of religious heritage — a joint government and Church body.

Just under $13 million will go to structural repairs to roofs, windows, brickwork, etc. Another $665,560 will be spent on organs, works of art and furniture.

Parishes will commit $5.9 million to complete the work.

The largest beneficiary will be the Quebec City region which will split $2.1 million over five restoration projects.

The grant will roll out under Quebec’s 2007 infrastructure plan.
