Colchester-Musquodoboit Valley MLA Larry Harrison said the government understands the importance of gathering places for our rural communities.
“That’s why I’m pleased we were able to fund projects that will help keep these facilities open for years to come,” said Harrison.
Under the Communities Facilities Improvement Program, applicants will receive support to improve their facilities through enabling important repairs and improvements to the interior and exterior features of their building(s).

Through this program, local organizations will continue providing the public access to their facilities and help them maintain a lasting impact for the people in our communities.
The Houston government remains committed to helping community-based facilities deliver quality services to Nova Scotians.
This program emphasizes the importance of building up Nova Scotia through investing in local organizations to ensure ongoing repairs to buildings and infrastructures that are integral to the long-term sustainability of facilities.
