Government of Canada invests nearly $120,000 in five community infrastructure improvement projects

SAINT-AMBROISE, QC, Dec. 19, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED)

Saguenay families will enjoy improved recreational spaces and modernized community facilities thanks to $119,389 in financial assistance from the Government of Canada. Including the other sources of funding, total investments in the region's five community infrastructure improvement projects exceed $278,000.

The contributions were announced today by David Lametti, Member of Parliament for LaSalle–Émard–Verdun and Parliamentary Secretary to the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions.

The non-repayable contributions were awarded to the Municipality of Larouche and the following organizations: Association sportive Ste-Marie Inc., Centre communautaire de Saint-Charles-de-Bourget, Association Chasse et Pêche Martin-Pêcheur Inc. and Corporation du parc régional du lac Kénogami.

The funding has been granted through the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program (CIP150), a $300 million fund that was established to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary through investments in community spaces that bring Canadians together. Up to $63.5 million of this amount will be invested in Quebec.

Quotes
"This investment is part of a community construction project celebrating Canada's 150th anniversary. There is no better way to mark this milestone than to celebrate the places that bring us together—the places that allow us to stay fit, unwind and connect with our friends and neighbours. That is how we establish the bonds of common understanding and friendship in a country where people come from every corner of the world. The values of openness, diversity and inclusion that define all Canadians are forged in our community spaces."

The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for CED

"The financial support we provide for our communities clearly shows our commitment to fostering sustainable growth and prosperity in Canada. By improving community infrastructure, as these five projects aim to do, we are enhancing the vitality of our communities and helping ensure a higher quality of life for residents of all ages."

The Honourable David Lametti, Member of Parliament for LaSalle–Émard–Verdun and Parliamentary Secretary for the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development
