The Theatre du Nouvel-Ontario is receiving a financial boost from the federal government.

A FedNor grant of $240,000 was announced today for a three year project at the Theatre.

The funding will allow for the creation of a Development Officer position and offer a service to allow both Anglophone and Francophone families to enjoy plays in real time.

The money will also help modernize the ticketing system, increase rental opportunities and allow for the promotion of the theatre over a wider area in both official languages.
