Today, the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Official Languages and Minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and Member of Parliament for Moncton-Riverview-Dieppe, the Honourable Bruce Fitch, Minister of Health, on behalf of the Honourable Réjean Savoie, Minister responsible for the Regional Development Corporation, and His Worship Andrew LeBlanc, Mayor of the Town of Riverview, announced a joint investment of more than $39.9 million to support the construction of a new recreation complex in Riverview.
The Riverview Recreation Complex will offer a combination of recreational and gathering spaces for public meetings and special events, as well as cultural and community activities. It will feature a new 8-lane, 25-metre pool and separate leisure pool, a 200-metre padded walking track, a field house, and a multi-purpose room and event space.
This project will help improve community access to recreational facilities that are open to all ages and abilities, meeting the long-term needs of this growing community.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, increasing the resiliency of our communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
