Atlantic Canada's communities offer inclusive, welcoming experiences that attract visitors from around the world and strengthen local connections and engagement. The Government of Canada is investing to help create a four-season tourism and community attraction at the Grand Falls marina.
Today, the Honourable Gudie Hutchings, Minister of Rural Economic Development and Minister responsible for ACOA, announced a federal contribution of $184,096 for the Grand Falls Regional Municipality through ACOA's Innovative Communities Fund (ICF).
The Honourable Réjean Savoie, Minister responsible for the Regional Development Corporation (RDC) announced a contribution of $184,096 on behalf of the Province of New Brunswick; and His Worship, Bertrand Beaulieu, Mayor of the Grand Falls Regional Municipality also announced a contribution of $184,096 towards the project.
These investments are supporting the first phase of a project to redevelop the Grand Falls marina as a dynamic, year-round tourism and community destination. The project will focus on repairs to the main building and the restoration of riverbank access, laying the groundwork for the next phase which will include a boardwalk and floating docks.
Today's announcement highlights how the Government of Canada is contributing to Atlantic Canada's momentum by helping our communities take advantage of new opportunities, setting the stage for a strong, sustainable future.
