Today, Jenica Atwin, Member of Parliament for Fredericton, the Honourable Jill Green, Minister of Social Development, Minister responsible for the Economic and Social Inclusion Corporation and Minister responsible for the New Brunswick Housing Corporation, and Judy Wilson-Shee, Chair of the Capital Region Service Commission and Mayor of the Village of New Maryland, announced a joint investment of more than $1.2 million to support the preliminary planning and design phase for the new Regional Aquatic Centre in Fredericton.
This investment will help the Capital Regional Service Commission prepare a preliminary design and engineering plan for the development and eventual construction of the new Regional Aquatic Centre (RAC) in Fredericton. The goal of the project is to expand the existing Grant Harvey Centre to include a new facility that will replace the Sir Max Aitken Pool.
This planning project will determine the most effective method of implementing the new RAC addition through schematic design, design development, and construction documents to ultimately provide a recreational aquatic centre that supports the community's health and wellness needs.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
