Hants East MLA John A. MacDonald said pickleball is a rapidly growing sport that provides people of all ages and abilities with the opportunity to stay active and engaged in our community.

“This investment reflects our commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles and recreational opportunities for our residents,” said MacDonald.

With this investment from the Recreation Facility Development Grant Program, not-for-profit groups, Municipalities, and Mi’kmaq Band Councils will receive support as they develop, upgrade, or renovate recreation facilities.

Through this program, local organizations will be able to increase access to sport and recreation programming in our communities.

This will ensure Nova Scotians have access to recreation services in our community.

This commitment emphasizes the importance of building up Nova Scotia through investing in local organizations that provide access to health and wellness programming through sport and recreation activities.
