Tourism plays a vital role in Atlantic Canada, driving local economies, creating jobs and strengthening communities. Tourism also helps preserve, promote and celebrate the region's diverse cultural heritage - building awareness and understanding of the many people who call this place home. The Government of Canada is investing to help four organizations and two municipalities in rural New Brunswick seize opportunities to boost tourism and ensure the industry is well positioned for long-term, sustainable growth.
Today, the Honourable Gudie Hutchings, Minister of Rural Economic Development and Minister responsible for ACOA, was in Salisbury to announce a total investment of $782,907 for six projects to support the advancement of tourism in the region.
The funding will support the Town of Salisbury, Fundy - St. Martins, the Maritime Motorsport Hall of Fame, Firefly Forest Ltd., Poley Mountain Resorts Ltd., and Stoke Resort with projects to help expand and upgrade tourism infrastructure.
