Canadian communities flourish when they have safe, welcoming public spaces where people can come together to connect, engage, and participate in recreational programs and activities. By investing in our infrastructure, we not only stimulate economies and create jobs - we build communities that attract people and businesses and make them want to stay.
Today, Jenica Atwin, Member of Parliament for Fredericton, announced an investment of $99,543 through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF) for the Town of Oromocto. The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Gudie Hutchings, Minister of Rural Economic Development and Minister responsible for ACOA.
The Province of New Brunswick is also providing $59,716 through the Regional Development Corporation.
This support will allow the Town of Oromocto to repair and upgrade the roof at Kings Arrow arena, increase accessibility of the Gateway Wetland Trail, improve signage at the Visitor Information Center, and add a disc golf course to Deer Park. These improvements will encourage residents and visitors alike to discover and enjoy the community's unique recreational offerings and activities.
In March, the Public Policy Forum published a report that confirms Atlantic Canada's economy is bustling and the region is poised for exponential growth. Today's announcement highlights how the Government of Canada is contributing to this momentum - strengthing our communities, creating new opportunities, and setting the stage for a strong, sustainable future.
