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.
