The City of Richmond announced the official opening today of its newest arts and culture hub, the Richmond Cultural Centre Annex, at the former site of the Minoru Place Activity Centre.

The provincial government contributed $2.1 million to the revitalization, and the federal government invested an additional $133,000.
