Renovations are now complete, and a special ceremony was held last Thursday to mark the official re-opening of the Dauphin Courthouse.
A number of Provincial Ministers were in attendance at the opening, including Justice Minister Matt Wiebe, and Agriculture Minister & Dauphin MLA Ron Kostyshyn.
He says the renovations to the facility were much needed.
"When it comes to renovations of an existing building, especially a historical building. And, I think, the intent was to keep the exterior because the building is well known, and it is a beautiful structure. But, the renovations were long overdue, and the courtrooms look excellent for security purposes, which means a lot to the sheriffs and the corrections officers and the judges and everybody else."
Kostyshyn has also been heavily involved as of late in consultations on a new justice facility for Dauphin.
Construction of that is expected to begin later this year.
