Today, the Honourable Harjit S. Sajjan, Minister of International Development and Minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada, the Honourable Anne Kang, B.C. Minister of Municipal Affairs, and Barry Pages, Chair of North Coast Regional District, announced a joint investment of more than $1.5 million to support upgrades to the North Coast Recycling Depot.
This investment will enable structural, electrical, and lighting upgrades that will increase the recycling depot's efficiency and capacity to process material. The project will also allow for the purchase and installation of two new balers, and the construction of an elevated loading dock. Once complete, project works will increase the capacity of the recycling depot by approximately 1,200 tonnes annually. The upgrades will ensure the proper disposal of waste, helping to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and protect the local environment.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
