DEVOLIN ANNOUNCES $17,800 IN CELEBRATE CANADA FUNDING FOR KAWARTHA LAKES
LINDSAY - Local MP Barry Devolin, on behalf of the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages has announced a total of $17,800 for Celebrate Canada projects in the City of Kawartha Lakes.
The money will be used to help cover some of the costs of the various Canada Day celebrations taking place in eight communities across the municipality. Events such as live music, fireworks, children's activities and parades will be offered. Participating communities include; Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, Kinmount, Lindsay, Norland, Omemee, Oakwood and Coboconk
“Celebrate Canada activities have become a tradition offering Canadians the opportunity to share their pride in their country,” said Devolin. “The success of these events is due, in great part, to the volunteer members who work tirelessly to ensure each Canadian has an opportunity to enjoy local celebrations.”
“I’d like to thank Shelley Cooper with the City of Kawartha Lakes Parks and Recreation Department for her hard work and successful application for funding,” stated Devolin. “Having the opportunity to thank people for their hard work and commitment to making our communities better is one of the most rewarding things that I do as your MP.”
“Canada Day is an opportunity to gather in our communities, from coast to coast to coast, and to proudly celebrate all we have in common,” said Devolin.
