MacDonald, Member of the Legislative Assembly for Hants East, on behalf of the Honourable Kim Masland, Minister of Public Works, and Tanya Burke, Executive Director of the East Hants Community Learning Association, announced joint funding of $192,620 for the purchase of four new vehicles for the Association.
With this funding, the East Hants Community Learning Association will acquire three new hybrid and one electric vehicle for its East Hants Community Rider Program. These new vehicles will allow the Association to expand their on-demand service in the Municipality of East Hants and in nearby communities. It will provide residents with affordable and comfortable transit options to get around their communities and access programs and services. The funding also helps support inclusive communities.
The Government of Canada is investing $154,096 in this project and the Government of Nova Scotia is providing $38,524.
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.
