The Government of Saskatchewan is contributing $375,000 toward repairs to Duck Lake Regional Interpretive Centre - home of the first shots fired in the 1885 Northwest Resistance/Rebellion.
Exterior repairs include replacing all windows in the tower, roof repairs including new roofing, soffit and fascia, siding replacement and paint.
"The Government of Saskatchewan is excited to contribute to the preservation of Duck Lake Regional Interpretive Centre," Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Christine Tell said. "Through the interpretive centre, we can learn about and celebrate our rich past and share its fascinating stories with visitors to our province."
"The heritage, cultures and stories of this area, especially those of 1885, have and continue to be such an important part of our history," Duck Lake Interpretive Centre Administrator Celine Perillat said. "We are ecstatic that the provincial government would assist us with funding that will help us to preserve these important objects and relate the stories for visitors and generation to come."
The Duck Lake Regional Interpretive Centre houses more than 6000 artifacts, many of which are related to the 1885 Northwest Resistance/Rebellion. Its 125th commemoration anniversary is scheduled for 2010.
The Duck Lake Regional Interpretive Centre tells the story of the 1885 Resistance from three different perspectives: The First Nations, Métis and the Pioneers. Events of the Resistance and its aftermath have left a mark on Canada's history and culture.
