The Huntsman Marine Science Centre in St. Andrews has received some funding. The centre is building a 20,000 square-foot Discovery Centre to replace its existing aquarium. Premier Shawn Graham
and Minister of Veterans Affairs Greg Thomspon announced the contribution of 2.5 million dollars from both levels of government.
The old building will be torn down and a new one will be built on the lower campus property of the Huntsman Marine Science Centre. This completes the $20 million capital renewal campaign. The centre is putting $3 million toward its project valued at over $8 million.
