Shining Horizons Therapeutic Riding Assoc. Expands Services for Local Youth

Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency

Canadian cities and towns flourish when we create inclusive, accessible spaces that foster wellness. These amenities are key to promoting a more equitable and inclusive Canada, where everyone is empowered to succeed.

Today, Wayne Long, Member of Parliament for Saint John - Rothesay, announced an investment of $82,160 through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF) for Shining Horizons Therapeutic Riding Association (SHTRA). The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Official Languages and Minister responsible for ACOA.

This investment will enhance the Association's equine therapy program for youth with the addition of a second floor to its existing building to serve as a mental health treatment area. The funding has also enabled the SHTRA to install solar panels that will boost the building's overall energy efficiency and sustainability.
