Canadian cities and towns flourish when they have community public spaces to promote social interaction and physical activity, and provide access to recreational programs and facilities. These amenities are integral to the overall well-being of individuals, families and communities. Our economic recovery is closely linked to the vitality of our local communities and their shared spaces.

Today, the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Official Languages and Minister responsible for ACOA, along with Joanne Thompson, Member of Parliament for St. John's East, announced total investments of $529,684 through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF) for five projects in the towns of Logy Bay - Middle Cove - Outer Cove, Portugal Cove - St. Philip's, Pouch Cove, Torbay and Flatrock.
