Communities flourish when local businesses and organizations have the infrastructure and resources to create memorable experiences for visitors and residents. The Government of Canada is investing to upgrade the Central New Brunswick Woodmen's Museum, a historical tourism site in Boiestown.
Today, the Honourable Gudie Hutchings, Minister of Rural Economic Development and Minister responsible for ACOA, announced an investment of $92,450 through ACOA's Innovative Communities Fund (ICF) for improvements to the museum.
The Honourable Réjean Savoie, Minister responsible for the Regional Development Corporation (RDC) also announced a provincial contribution of $115,563.
The project will support a number of upgrades including drain tile and culvert replacement, eavestrough installation, and parking lot improvements. This will ensure the museum and community centre can continue to welcome visitors safely and comfortably.
With projects like this one, the Government of Canada is helping drive Atlantic Canada's momentum by supporting strong, vibrant communities, and setting the stage for a resilient, sustainable future.
