Ontario Investing in the Future of the Shaw Festival

• The Shaw Festival is a cultural icon for Ontario and Canada, and is just one of the many great reasons to visit Niagara-on-the-Lake and the broader Niagara Region throughout the year.
• Our government is investing $35 million over three years to support the Shaw Festival’s rebuild of the historic Royal George Theatre.
• The rebuild will boost Niagara tourism and support Canadian culture, while honouring elements of the original building’s design.
• The Royal George Theatre will be modernized to include a new accessible lobby and lounge areas for visitors, greater seating capacity, as well as new rehearsal and workspaces.
• Our government’s investment will help create hundreds of good jobs, boost the local and regional economy, and give Ontarians the opportunity to enjoy world-class performances right here at home.
