The Francis Winspear Centre's $110 million expansion project is set to be completed in 2026 .

The organization has asked the public for one last fundraising push for $12 million to get the project over the line.

The Music Box will be a new state-of-the-art, 550 -person performance venue.

The project has attracted roughly $13 million from the city, more than $28 million in government funding.

The Winspear group requested that the city help with the final financial push, which Coun . Anne Stevenson said they’re considering.

Stevenson passed a motion to ask city staff to analyze whether the remaining funding could be added into the Community Revitalization Levy as a catalyst project.

“That’s a really natural fit for some of the green and walkable funding,” said Stevenson .
