More than $48,000 from the Government of Canada will support local project

“This investment is a community-building project to celebrate Canada’s 150^th anniversary. And there’s 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’s 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 ACOAsible for ACOA

“The Government of Canada recognizes that investing in community infrastructure is necessary to strengthen the middle class and provide municipalities with the building blocks they need to support a high standard of living for all Canadians and their families. The Bath Knights Inc. community hall plays an integral role in the daily lives of local residents and these improvements will help to ensure that the facility remains a community hub to be enjoyed by all for many years to come.”

- TJ Harvey, Member of Parliament for Tobique-Mactaquac

“On behalf of the Knights of Columbus council 6741, I would like to thank ACOA for providing funding to assist in the renewal of this important community asset. With this assistance, the Knights will be able to continue to provide a facility to accommodate various community events and groups in a barrier free environment for many more years. We greatly appreciate the efforts of our local MP and MLA’s respective offices in helping to secure this support.”

 - Troy Stone, Bath Mayor and Treasurer, Bath Knights Inc.
