An iconic theater in the center of Alberta’s capital city is about to get a $4 million overhaul, thanks to an injection of provincial tax dollars.
Edmonton’s Citadel Theater is one of the largest in Canada. It first opened in 1965. The current building on 99 Street and 102 Avenue opened in 1976 and is just a short walk from city hall.
The provincial money will see new elevators, glazing windows and skylights, flooring and mechanical systems installed in the 47-year-old building.
“This funding is absolutely transformational for the Citadel Theatre!” executive director Sarah Pocklington wrote in a news release.
