OAKVILLE, ONTARIO — Terence Young, Member of Parliament for Oakville, on behalf of the Honourable Julian Fantino, Associate Minister of National Defence, today announced an investment of $483,000 in funding to improve infrastructure at the Oakville Armoury, in support of the Canadian Armed Forces.
The investment will support a significant upgrade of the Armoury, including new windows, repairs to brickwork, as well as the replacement of electrical panels and emergency lighting. Work at the Armoury will begin this summer, and is expected to be completed over the next two years. This investment will also help support the local economy and job creation in Oakville.
The Oakville Armoury is home to A Company, a unit of The Lorne Scots infantry regiment which has a long and celebrated history that can be traced back almost 150 years. As well, the 1188 Lorne Scots Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps meets and trains at the Armoury.
