A number of communities along the Southern Shore will be receiving funding through the provincial government’s Accessible Community Grants program.
Minister of Municipal and Provincial Affairs John Haggie last week announced that more than $619,000 had been earmarked for 40 community projects across the province.
Fermeuse will receive money for upgrades to its walking track and multipurpose area. Ferryland and St. Mary’s will both receive monies for accessibility improvements to their respective town halls.
The City of St. John's, meanwhile, will receive funding for accessibility improvements to Bidgood’s Park in the Goulds.
The grants are provided on a 90/10 cost shared basis with the communities paying the 10 per cent.
