Today, the Honourable Anthony Rota, Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada and Member of Parliament for Nipissing-Timiskaming, announced a federal investment of $50,000 to support active transportation planning at Canadore College in North Bay.
This investment will support Canadore College in developing plans for the implementation of active transportation infrastructure. These plans will support the creation of a business plan and identify costs and suppliers related to the expansion of active transportation options. Canadore College will look at expanding its bike paths to allow for seamless transition from the City's paths, and introducing Active Transportation Hubs, which will offer secure storage and an accessible point for water and rest. These additions will enable many students, employees and community members to choose active transportation as a healthy and affordable option.
The investment announced today contributes to Canada's National Active Transportation Strategy by supporting the expansion of networks of pathways, bike lanes, trails and pedestrian bridges.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
