The Town of Lockeport has been fortunate enough to be participating in projects over the past couple of years that without the Building Canada Fund, the Federal Gas Tax and the Community Adjustment Fund/Innovative Community Fund through ACOA the majority of these projects would not be possible. In conjunction with funding from these Federal and Provincial partners we have also received funding from Community organizations and businesses. The community has taken an active role and interest in these projects. The volunteer Medical First Responders and Harmony Bazaar, through active fundraising, have provided funding towards the projects. Their involvement has secured infrastructure that will enhance their activities and provide for their future success. Several businesses in Town have participated in the projects as well because they know that it takes great effort to continue to make our community attractive and enticing to Tourists, new residents and new business ventures.
Thank you to all who have made it possible for the Town of Lockeport to take part in these projects.
