The province is putting $100,000 into Port Hawkesbury for active transportation.
Energy and Mines Minister Derek Mombourquette says they’re happy with what they see in the town.
Mombourquette says it’s everyone’s responsibility to create a greener future.
“Low Carbon Communities is about turning great clean energy ideas into results, it encourages innovation and supports jobs in the green economy,” he says. “Working together with our partners, we can build our success in lowing emissions.”
Mombourquette says the Port Hawkesbury Active Transportation Trail does just that.
He says that made it a natural candidate.
“This is exactly what we look for,” she says. “Projects that will help connect communities but will also give people more active transportation options.”
Mombourquette says the Low Carbon Communities Program funding is for active transportation trail improvements including paving, supports like bike repair and water stations, and extensions connecting residential and commercial areas.
He says some money will also go to the town’s bike loan program, which is set to launch next week.
