OTTAWA — The Ontario government has announced it is investing over $15.7 million towards construction of a new recreation centre for Mouvement d’implication francophone d’Orléans (MIFO), a not-for-profit francophone, artistic, cultural and community organization.

The money will support an eco-friendly facility to replace the existing building and includes multi-functional rooms, a gymnasium, running track, meeting rooms, an art gallery and more.

It will also allow the MIFO to increase its annual capacity from 60,000 to 80,000 visitors.

The MIFO will then introduce new services such as specialized camps, accessible fitness programs and community events, “strengthening its role as a vibrant hub for the Francophone community in Orléans,” a release reads.

The money is coming from the $200 million .
