    The Hanna Roundhouse Society has received funding that allows it to move forward with work on the historical site.
    The society is receiving over $17,000 in a matching grant from the province which will help cover the costs of an assessment on the Roundhouse.
    “We are proceeding with some of the building evaluation - the ceiling and the walls. The professional people are arriving July 14 to work on the building to do that, and this is the first step in proceeding with our historical restoration," said Sandra Beaudoin, President/Founder of the Hanna Roundhouse Society.
    Beaudoin said once the companies have completed their assessments, the society gets a report identifying the work that needs done by priority.
    The assessments are being performed by Macdonald and Lawrence Timber Specialists out of Vancouver, who were working on the Atlas Coal Mine tipple earlier this spring, and architect Darrel Babuk of Boreas Architecture and Civic Design Inc out of Edmonton.
    Beaudoin said they’ll also be looking at the boiler room attached to the roundhouse, as the society would like to create a boiler room interpretive centre there.
    She said one of the society’s long term goals will be replacing the buildings’ windows.
    They would like the windows built as closely as possible to the original windows.
    The society would also like to preserve the locomotive doors on the roundhouse.
    The non-profit society owns 8.97 acres which includes the roundhouse and boiler room, the train turntable, and the water tower foundation.
