Lorette, Manitoba
Lorette is moving forward with upgrades to its community complex arena thanks to the Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RInC) program, a major job-creating investment from Canada’s Economic Action Plan.
“I am pleased to announce that our Government will be providing funding for upgrades to the Lorette Community Complex Arena,
” said Vic Toews, Minister of Public Safety and Member of Parliament for Provencher, on behalf of the Honourable Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification. “This investment will ensure members of our community will continue to have use of this recreational facility for years to come.
”
Lorette is upgrading the existing arena in the Lorette Community Complex by installing new, energy-efficient lighting, constructing a walking path throughout the grounds, and installing bleachers for baseball and soccer games.
Funding of $40,666 is provided through the Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RInC) program as part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan.
With these upgrades, the community complex will be able to benefit the entire RM of Taché year-round, encouraging more community participation in activities and events.
The Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RInC) program will invest $500 million in recreational facilities across Canada over a two-year period. It will provide a temporary economic stimulus that will help reduce the impacts of the global recession while renewing, upgrading and expanding recreational infrastructure in Canadian communities.
