Staff in Mackenzie for mural unveiling

September 9, 2025

The Mackenzie Community Arts Council has moved ahead with Phase Two of Caribou Place, thanks to funding support from Northern Development. The project has been approved for up to $164,372 through the Cultural Infrastructure program, helping to strengthen the community’s creative spaces and provide greater access to arts and culture.

In addition, support from the Business Façade Improvement program, also funded by Northern Development, has made it possible to feature murals painted by local artists on the building’s exterior. These murals not only beautify the downtown core, they also celebrate Mackenzie’s creative talent and cultural identity.

Together, these investments are transforming Caribou Place into a vibrant hub for the arts, supporting local creators and enriching the community for years to come.
