Community Facilities in Waverley, Fall River, Beaver Bank Areas to Receive Funding.
People living in the Waverley, Fall River and Beaver Bank area will see upgrades to community facilities thanks to provincial grants announced today, August 19.
“Improving community infrastructure creates vibrant spaces where people can socialize, explore their interests and learn new skills,” said Brian Wong, Minister of Advanced Education and MLA for Waverley-Fall River-Beaver Bank, on behalf of Allan MacMaster, Minister of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage. “This investment reflects our dedication to helping communities grow and creating lasting value for generations to come.”

Quotes:
“Active after school care for working families, programs for individuals with autism, physical and intellectual disabilities, youth paddling programs (that sometimes manifest into Olympic dreams coming true) and seniors’ social and physical well-being are all key to our organizational vision. The infrastructure investment announced today ensures we can continue to fulfill our role in building Canadian youth and a vibrant, active and inclusive community for everyone.”
