Harper Government Invests in Community Infrastructure in Fort Nelson
(firmenpresse) - FORT NELSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/07/14 -- Western Economic Diversification Canada
Today, Bob Zimmer, Member of Parliament for Prince George-Peace River, on behalf of the Honourable Michelle Rempel, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification, announced over $247,000 in federal funding to the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality, under the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) in support of improvements to the Fort Nelson Community Trail.
Federal funding was used to create safe, paved access points to the Fort Nelson Community Trail, improving accessibility for strollers and people with mobility issues. Improved access to the Community Trail has increased connectivity between Fort Nelson''s town core and residential areas.
In the Economic Action Plan 2012, the Government of Canada announced further support to help communities across the country modernize their infrastructure. The Government committed $150 million over two years for the Fund. CIIF supported projects that aimed to improve existing community infrastructure accessible for use by the public, such as community centres, recreational buildings, local arenas, and further community and cultural facilities.
