Manitoba’s NDP is pledging to rebuild the Park Community Centre in Brandon if the party forms government after the provincial election in the fall.

The rebuild would include plans to add a new child-care facility.

The City of Brandon has been trying to rebuild the community centre, but plans have not gone forward due to a lack of funding.

The NDP is promising to fork over $1 million for the project.

Manitoba’s provincial election is Oct. 3.
