The Build Communities Strong Fund supports communities across Atlantic Canada by building reliable infrastructure at a speed and scale not seen in generations
Building a strong Canada starts with building strong communities. Canada's new government is investing in the infrastructure people use every day, helping our communities build, repair, and upgrade our local spaces we all rely on.
Today, Mike Kelloway, Member of Parliament for Sydney-Glace Bay, announced a federal investment of $50,000 for the Donkin Morien Community Association in Cape Breton.
This federal investment will support the replacement of outdated playground infrastructure with modern, accessible equipment, enhancing a vital community gathering place and ensuring residents and visitors of all ages and abilities can enjoy it for years to come.
As the first project announced under this new federal fund in Atlantic Canada, this investment demonstrates how projects big and small help improve the places people use every day. Eligible communities and organizations across the region are encouraged to apply.
Across Atlantic Canada, the Government of Canada is working with provincial, municipal, Indigenous, and private-sector partners to invest in infrastructure that strengthens communities, supports jobs and local economies, and helps them adapt and grow in the face of a changing climate.
The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada and Minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.
