North Bay receives Inclusive Community Grant
Vic Fedeli, MPP for Nipissing announced that the Ontario government is investing $60,000 in the Shaded and Accessible, Picnic Tables and Benches project to improve accessibility and support people of all ages and abilities in North Bay. Through the Inclusive Community Grants Program, this project will receive funding to improve community life for older Ontarians and people with disabilities.
The City of North Bay will receive up to $60,000 to install seven accessible picnic tables with shade structures throughout the city in existing accessible park locations. This will impact approximately 1500 individuals of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to participate in these core public spaces.
In 2023-24, a total of up to $750,000 is being invested in the Inclusive Community Grants Program. Since this initiative was created in 2020, it has provided up to $4.5 million to support 87 projects promoting inclusivity and accessibility in Ontario.
