The Government of Canada is making investments across British Columbia to refresh community spaces.
Safe and inclusive public spaces are key to vibrant communities. They bring together people of all ages and abilities, in turn supporting businesses and boosting economic vitality. Throughout British Columbia, communities are welcoming residents and visitors alike to enjoy new and improved public spaces.
Today Parm Bains, Member of Parliament for Steveston Richmond East, announced an investment of $459,000 through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund for the City of Richmond. The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Harjit S. Sajjan, Minister of International Development and Minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada (PacifiCan).
This support will allow the city to renovate a historical site in Steveston - the London Farm. This investment assisted in upgrading the space to be more safe and inclusive through new signage, pathway improvements, a new boardwalk and more. Visitors and locals will now have the opportunity to visit this newly improved local attraction that recognizes Richmond's deep agricultural history and heritage.
Projects like these help communities and businesses in British Columbia welcome visitors from near and far, improve community wellness, create jobs, and grow the local economy.
