Government of Canada fueling community revitalization and creating the conditions for local economies to thrive as they rebound from the effects of COVID-19
February 18, 2022 · Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador · Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA)
Canadian cities and towns flourish when they have community public spaces to promote social interaction and physical activity, and provide access to recreational programs and facilities. These amenities are integral to the overall well-being of individuals, families and communities. Our economic recovery is closely linked to the vitality of our local communities and their shared spaces.
Today, Yvonne Jones, Member of Parliament for Labrador, announced total investments of $114,665 through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF) for two projects in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Official Languages and Minister responsible for ACOA.
This support will allow two community-based organizations to upgrade their facilities with new accessibility features and install energy efficient technology, including heat pumps and LED lighting. This will create safer and more comfortable gathering places.
