The federal and provincial government are helping fund two infrastructure projects in Milton.
The joint investment will provide repairs and upgrades to the Community Living North Halton Lunch Box Café and Conservation Halton’s Crawford Lake Boardwalk.
Milton MP Adam van Koeverden says communities thrive off of these projects.
The Government of Canada is investing $939,900 in the Renovation and expansion of Café and Meeting Rooms at Community Living North Halton, and the Crawford Lake Boardwalk through the Community, Culture and Recreation Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada plan. The Government of Ontario is providing $783,172, while Community Living North Halton is investing over $18,600 and the Halton Region Conservation Authority is investing $912,000.
The first project will see improvements to the café and meeting room facilities at Community Living North Halton building. The upgrades include replacement of existing carpet with vinyl flooring, adding new light fixtures, updating washrooms, expanding the café meeting area, and repainting meeting spaces. These upgrades will improve the access and quality of the community infrastructure by enabling the organization to offer more space for programming and meetings in this facility. These enhancements will ensure a great number of people and organizations have increased interaction and social inclusion within the community.
The second project involves the rehabilitation and expansion of the Crawford Lake Boardwalk. These upgrades to the recreational path will include the installation of helical piles for boardwalk support and new decking and guardrails, and the refurbishment of rest stops, viewing areas and educational signage. These improvements will extend the boardwalk’s lifespan and offer an improved visitor experience, while also meeting accessibility requirements.
