We have received emergency funding from CCTH of $20,000 as well as a capital grant of $27,000. WRWEO recognizes the support of the Province of Nova Scotia. We are pleased to work in partnership with the Department of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage to develop and promote trails for all Nova Scotians. A portion of the emergency funding was used to fully replace the 3rd boardwalk, at a cost of just under $7,000, this work was completed in November, 2023.
We also received $10,000 from councilor Iona Stoddard – thank you very much Councilor Stoddard.
We also raised donations from Trail Users, WRWEO members, and other agencies to assist with the boardwalk replacement.
Finally, we received a $25,000 capital grant from Halifax Regional Municipality and thank them for their continued support of trails in the HRM.
