Learning Center GOES!

It has been said that good things come to those who wait.
Those words rang true for many in Dryden Monday when plans were announced for the Learning Center/Auditorium which will soon be under construction on the grounds of the former Albert St School across from DHS.
The $7 million project has been on & off for much of the past 3 years but it all came together last Friday when Indian Affairs Minister & Kenora Rainy River MP Bob Nault announced funding of $1 million in a partnership with the Northern Chiefs.
That will help set up a Water Treatment Plant Operator Program at the new facility.
Other features of the Center include a permanent home for the Dryden Campus of Confederation College & a 500 seat Auditorium which will be used for both cultural & educational purposes.
Construction is to begin in a few weeks & should be complete by the end of 2004.
