Federated Co-operatives Ltd. made a one-million dollar commitment to the renewal project.
The business says the donation is a way to engage in meaningful reconciliation.
The funds will pay for the new interactive gathering place exhibit that will educate visitors about bison, indigenous culture, history and ecology.
The exhibit will be just one aspect of the renovation and expansion that includes introducing a herd of plains bison.
