Border Regional-Library Project Update
📚 Project Snapshot: Border Regional Library – Virden
The Border Regional Library in Virden is undergoing a major renovation—its first in over 30 years—while remaining open to the public. With planning underway since 2022, the project is transforming the 70-year-old building into a brighter, more accessible space for the 6,000+ residents it serves.
In 2024, the Brandon Area Community Foundation proudly awarded a $50,000 grant to support this important community initiative, which is expected to be completed by mid-2025.
Upgrades include improved accessibility, energy-efficient systems, and a new multipurpose room for library programs and community use.
📅 A grand re-opening is coming soon!

Meet the Curious Explorer
As the newest resident of the Peter Sawatzky Sculpture Park made its grand entrance today at Brandon Riverbank, we couldn’t help but spotlight this inquisitive black bear clearing a path—symbolizing strength, curiosity, and the wild spirit of Manitoba.
If you represent a charitable organization interested in applying for a grant from the Foundation, our application portal opens on August 5 and we’d be happy to hear from you.
