Nova Scotia is investing $858,000 to support 35 community projects that will improve existing cultural and community facilities to ensure safe spaces where people can gather, celebrate and connect.
The projects include improvements to the community hall in Milford. The Milford Recreation Association will receive $42,400 to upgrade the hall's energy efficiency with new heat pumps, windows and lighting.
'At the heart of every community are places where people can gather safely to celebrate Nova Scotia's rich cultural heritage,' said Communities, Culture and Heritage Minister Suzanne Lohnes-Croft. 'All Nova Scotians need facilities in their communities where they are safe and comfortable and that are welcoming, foster community pride and build stronger connections.'
The community-led projects are supported through the Community Facilities Improvement Program (CFIP), which focuses on repairing and improving existing building exteriors and interior features.
