Mossbank, Saskatchewan. Today, Ray Boughen, Member of Parliament for Palliser, on behalf of the Honourable Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification, announced federal funding for Mossbank’s community hall under the Harper Government’s Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF).
“I am proud to see Mossbank benefit from our Government’s commitment to improving community infrastructure,
” said MP Boughen. “This investment will help create local jobs and economic growth, and will support the sustainability of the community for years to come.
”
With the $2,091 investment, the Town will undertake repairs to the walls and flooring damaged by flooding in 2011.
“We are pleased to have the federal funding to assist in the repairs to our community hall,
” said Gregg Nagel, Mayor of the Town of Mossbank. “The hall has a long history of providing a great venue for all types of community functions. We look forward to getting the repairs completed so we can resume using it.
”
CIIFsupports, on a cost-shared basis, repairs and improvements to existing community infrastructure accessible to the public. Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) is delivering the Fund in Western Canada with an allocation of $46.2 million over two years.
Since 2006, the Harper Government, through WD, has invested in job-creating small and medium-sized businesses, aerospace, marine and defence industries, and supported innovative entrepreneurs in pursuing emerging markets. By continuing to promote new economic opportunities, WD is helping to create jobs, economic growth, and long-term prosperity.
