Governments work together to build FUNDY CIVIC CENTRE
July 9, 2007 Sussex, NB – A new civic centre worth $4.6 million will be built
thanks to a funding partnership between the Canadian Government, the
Government of New Brunswick and the Town of Sussex.
The joint federal, provincial and municipal infrastructure project was
announced today by Mr. Rob Moore, Member of Parliament for Fundy
Royal; the Honourable Shawn Graham, Premier of New Brunswick; and Mr.
Ralph Carr, Mayor of Sussex.
"Canada's Government is getting things done for the people of New
Brunswick," said MP Moore, on behalf of the Government of Canada and
(ACOA). "Thanks to our government's investment of more than $1.3
million, this new fitness centre will benefit the health and well
being of residents in Sussex and the surrounding area for years to
come."
The project involves the construction of a new indoor aquatic and
fitness centre in Sussex. The facility will include a six-lane 25
metre long competition indoor pool, a swirl pool for seniors, a
walking track, and a fitness centre.
Each of the three funding partners will contribute one third, or just
over $1.33 million, of the eligible cost of the Sussex project. The
investment is made possible through the Canada-New Brunswick Municipal
Rural Infrastructure Fund.
