Major Contributors to the Project

On October 29, 1999, MLA for Kootenay, Erda Walsh, announced a grant of $150,000 towards the purchase and initial preparation costs, matching the museum's own fund-raising efforts. The project also provides for a suitable shell to contain and safely preserve the room, and to provide connections to the new museum complex. (The project is now underway. Check our progress!)

This major contribution was soon followed by others, ensuring the success of the Project.
