Municipal Relations Minister Andrew Smith says the over-arching goal of this project is to help build long-term improvement for the entire province.
“Locally developed projects are, by design, tailored to address their community’s specific, unique needs and opportunities,” said Smith. “Our government is pleased to continue supporting community-based projects that foster thriving, sustainable neighbourhoods and improve residents’ quality of life.”
This budget doubled in size since last year's budget of roughly $12 million.
