Valley arena funding

According to the President of the Treasury Board and MP for Kings-Hants, Scott Brison; federal funding for the proposed arena and hockey heritage project, has not yet been finalized.

It could be built at the Hants County Exhibition Grounds in Windsor, the original location proposal is at Long Pond; but that location would require infrastructure upgrades, while the exhibition grounds already has water and sewer lines available.

Brison added that there’s no guarantee of federal funding until the two municipality’s decide on how they want to proceed.

Annapolis Royal project

A new waterfront amphitheatre is coming to Annapolis Royal.

The town and the Bear River First Nation are doing the project together.

Officials add that the amphitheatre will be a place where the Mi’kmaq can celebrate their culture and history, and where Annapolis Royal and Bear River First Nation can mark the historic bond of friendship established in 1605.
