Our government created the Sustainable Communities Challenge Fund to support community-led action and leadership. This afternoon in Mahone Bay with my colleagues Becky Druhan, Susan Corkum Greek and Danielle Barkhouse we announced $ 2.45 million in funding for 7 projects from Baddeck to Bridgewater.

That is why we created Sustainable Communities Challenge Fund in order to help communities take action. Communities have the best local knowledge and ideas of what is needed.
