Hallville, Ontario – The Township is pleased to announce that we have received funding approval on our application to the “Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program – Community, Culture and Recreation Stream”. The program funds go towards investing in community, culture and recreational projects that help deliver vital services for communities, foster greater social inclusion and improve the quality of life for residents across the province.
The funding will be used to develop the Hallville Community Park over the coming years. The Federal Government has contributed $1,091,477, the Provincial Government has contributed $909,473 and the Township of North Dundas will contribute $727,742 for a total project funding of $2,728,692.
“As the Mayor of the Township of North Dundas, I want to express thanks to both levels of government on behalf of the rest of Council as well as the residents of North Dundas and especially those living in and around Hallville. The financial support provided by the Federal and Provincial government will allow this planned for and eagerly awaited Hallville Community Park project to break ground in the near future. My thanks to Ms Meerburg and her staff for preparing the grant submission. Excellent work. Thanks to MPP McDonell for also being a champion of this project. This is an exciting day and once again, thank you to all for supporting this project,” said Mayor Tony Fraser.
The project will see the creation of a multi-purpose park with play structures, picnic tables, paved bike and pedestrian paths, an outdoor rink, accessible swings and tables and a pavilion. This will provide the residents of Hallville and surrounding area with a venue to enjoy the outdoors and maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
