The Ontario government is investing $500,000 through the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC) to help the Township of Dubreuilville build a new playground. As part of the government\u2019s plan to protect Ontario and build stronger northern communities, this funding will bring a new and accessible play structure to Dubreuilville, creating a fun, modern and safe space where families can gather, stay active and play.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery child deserves a safe, welcoming place to play, grow and create lasting memories,\u201d said George Pirie, Minister of Northern Economic Development and Growth. \u201cThis investment will give Dubreuilville children and families a modern, accessible playground where they can stay active, connect and enjoy the outdoors, helping build a stronger northern community.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Township of Dubreuilville is using NOHFC funding to replace end-of-life playground equipment at its only children\u2019s playground. Most existing structures, including swings, slide, and climbing frame, are more than 40 years old and no longer meet safety or accessibility standards. The project will also improve overall safety by re-leveling the site and installing non-slip rubber safety surfacing in the playground.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are incredibly thankful for this investment in Dubreuilville,\u201d said Shelley B. Casey, CAO-Clerk for the Township of Dubreuilville. \u201cThrough this partnership, we are creating a welcoming recreation space that will enhance the quality of life for our residents and visitors alike.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cToday is a great day for Dubreuilville, its residents and visitors,\u201d said Bill Rosenberg, member of Provincial Parliament for Algoma \u2013 Manitoulin. \u201cThis recreational space will ensure future generations will have a place they can continue to enjoy. Thank you to everyone involved in making investments in the community possible and to the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation for supporting this grant.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Ontario government is prioritizing investments\u00a0through the NOHFC that\u00a0protect northern industries and jobs, mitigate the impacts of U.S. tariffs and trade disruptions and secure new opportunities for the long-term prosperity of Northern Ontario. The renewed focus is boosting competitiveness and ensuring the North remains a leader in Ontario\u2019s economy. This new direction is in addition to the province\u2019s increased investment, bringing the NOHFC\u2019s annual budget to a total of $110 million. Together, these initiatives will benefit communities of all sizes, both rural and urban, including Indigenous communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
