Canadian communities flourish when they have vibrant small- and medium-sized businesses, welcoming public spaces, and the infrastructure and resources needed to attract visitors. These elements are key to the overall well-being of individuals and families, creating the conditions for communities to thrive and grow.
Today, René Arseneault, Member of Parliament for Madawaska-Restigouche, announced a total investment of $627,292 through the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) for five businesses and organizations in the Campbellton region. This announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Gudie Hutchings, Minister of Rural Economic Development and Minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.
This funding will help several organizations improve the community's tourism offerings and public spaces, and also help a local business purchase new equipment to set the stage for growth. For the full list of projects, please see the backgrounder.
Today's announcement highlights how the Government of Canada is contributing to Atlantic Canada's momentum by strengthening our communities, helping businesses take advantage of new opportunities, and setting the stage for a strong, sustainable future.
