Today, Mike Kelloway, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard and Member of Parliament for Cape Breton-Canso, Allan MacMaster, Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance and Treasury Board, on behalf of John Lohr, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and Barry Culligan, Chair of the St. Peter's, Sampsonville and Area Water Utility, announced a joint investment of more than $1.5 million to modernise the Village of St. Peter's drinking water infrastructure.
This investment will enable the Village to replace and upgrade an aging watermain pipe on Pepperell Street. This work will improve access to drinking water and improve fire flows which firefighters rely on when battling fires.
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.
