Funding for community groups in our area.

The province gave three organizations money for upgrades to their facilities.

Hazel Hill and Area Community Association is getting $50,000 for a new roof.

The Senior Citizens Shamrock Club will receive over $18,000 for exterior upgrades, and the Whitehaven Community Association will be able to install heat pumps with over $10,000.

Guysborough-Tracadie MLA Greg Morrow says these organizations are important to the community, and are a place for residents to come together for activities.

He says he’s pleased to see them get the funding they need.
