Phase 1: The safeguarding - $2.5 million

Initial investments of approximately $2.5 million are needed to re-roof this mini-cathedral, modernize its heating system and repair the water damage suffered in recent years. Other minor work will also be part of this first phase, whose primary objective is to save the building.

The development of an initial interpretation concept is also proposed as part of this first phase of the project, while a reserve of 20% of all funds raised will be created. From the outset, this campaign aims to establish this first trust fund to ensure the future viability of this important heritage asset to the Acadian people of Nova Scotia.
