Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced federal support for the Central Nova Scotia Civic Centre in Truro as part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan.  The facility will house an NHL-sized rink and will benefit the local economy while promoting physical fitness in the area.  The Government of Nova Scotia, the Town of Truro and the Municipality of the County of Colchester will also be contributing partners.

“We are supporting infrastructure projects across Canada that promote stronger, healthier communities,” said Prime Minister Harper.  “This new Civic Centre will create short- and long-term jobs and result in a more physically active community.” 

The facility will serve residents across the region.  It includes a three-lane walking track, an aquatic centre with an eight-lane competitive pool, a leisure pool, a fitness centre and other multipurpose spaces.  

The Government’s Economic Action Plan included almost $12 billion in new infrastructure funding to stimulate the economy and lay the foundation for long-term economic growth.
