The province is providing more then 350,000 dollars for six active transportation projects across Nova Scotia with the Connect2 program.
Wagamatcook First Nation is one of the communities receiving funding and they will use it to complete a feasibility report on two projects, a highway passageway and a multi use trail. The consultant will access how the projects could help people move around the community safely.
“A feasibility report by an engineering firm is critical to determining the next steps to address safe and effective active transportation in our community” says Wagamatcook First Nation Chief Norman Bernard. “It will also help us address the challenges posed by the Trans-Canada Highway, which physically divides our community.”
The Connect2 program is open to registered non-profit societies or co-operatives, federally incorporated non profit organizations, Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw bands, municipalities, post secondary institutions, and the private sector.
