The cost of the work is estimated to be $69,000. The Carrefour-Ressources in Sainte Anne des Monts will receive $46,000, split equally between the governments of Canada and Quebec, through the Communities Component of the Building Canada Fund (Canada-Quebec). The Carrefour-Ressources will contribute $23,000.
