Ted Arnott Announces Provincial Funding to Enhance the
Community Recreational Centre in Fergus
Waterloo-Wellington MPP Ted Arnott has announced that
the Government of Ontario will contribute $1.2 million
to help the Township of Centre Wellington build on in
a major way to the community recreational centre in
Fergus. The project will add a new arena and provide
the area with an indoor pool.
“This
is a considerable investment in public infrastructure
for the Township of Centre Wellington. I want to congratulate
the Mayor, Council, and staff of the Township of Centre
Wellington and the Parks and Recreation Department for
their successful application,” Mr. Arnott said.
“They’ve
done excellent work in building partnerships and generating
enthusiastic support. Residents in our area will benefit
for many years to come,” he added.
The
recreational centre is being developed with special
events in mind so that the community may provide enhanced
accommodations for the numerous community events. More
space for events and venues would enable the region’s
festivals to grow.
Provincial
funding is being provided through the Sports, Culture
and Tourism Partnerships (SCTP) component of the Ontario
Government’s SuperBuild strategy to build for the future.
Mr. Arnott received confirmation of the provincial share
of the project from the Minister of Tourism, Culture
and Recreation, Tim Hudak. The total net cost of the
project is $10,000,000.
