Rickford Funding Announcements



A total of 12 municipalities and first nation communities in the Kenora riding are sharing over five million dollars from the federal government.

The funding was rolled out last week under the Community Adjustment Fund.

Kenora M.P. Greg Rickford says this is the last of the funding promised in this years federal budget to help communities deal with the effects of the recession.

Rickford says the federal government will begin a new round of pre-budget consultations this fall to determine if more infrastructure and community adjustment funds will be needed.
