July 3 -- ST. MARTINS -- St. Martins' 4 Season Complex and a large crowd of over
300 celebrated its official opening today. Rob Moore, Member of
Parliament for Fundy Royal represented the Minister of ACOA, Premier
Bernard Lord, Jim Huttges, Mayor of St. Martins, Senator Noel Kinsella Speaker of the
Canadian Senate along with other representatives of the Provincial and
neighbouring Municipal Governments were in attendance.
"This facility is the result of collaboration and partnership between
all levels of goverernment for the benefit of Canadians," said MP
Moore on behalf of the Government of Canada. "A strong, vibrant
tourism industry in this region is important for job creation,
opportunities and economic growth for Atlantic Canadians."
The 4 Season Complex will enable the community to host year-round
activities and programming and will help increase the number of
visitors to the Village of St. Martins.
The project was supported through a $702,398 investment from ACOA's
Strategic Community Investment Fund and through a $300,000 investment
from the Province of New Brunswick through the Regional Development
Corporation. These investments permitted the Village of St. Martins
to undertake site preparation, landscaping, construction, engineering
and the installation of a well and septic system for the four-season,
multi-purpose facility.
