July 9, 2015 - GEORGETOWN, Ontario — Michael Chong, Member of Parliament for Wellington-Halton Hills, on behalf of the Honourable Julian Fantino, Associate Minister of National Defence, today announced investments worth nearly $609,000 to improve infrastructure at the Georgetown Armoury and to help boost local job creation.
The funding is allocated to provide a new roof for the main Armoury building, as well as upgrades to the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) infrastructure and light replacements, including emergency lighting systems.
To support Canadian Armed Forces personnel, the Department of National Defence (DND) has identified a requirement to complete a number of improvements to its armouries. A total of $135 million will be invested in DND armouries across the country over the next two years, and repairs will begin at the Georgetown Armoury this year.
