DEVOLIN ANNOUNCES $27,252 IN CELEBRATE CANADA FUNDING FOR

LINDSAY Local MP Barry Devolin, on behalf of the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, today announced $27,252 in funding to for Celebrate Canada festivities in numerous communities across
Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock.
Celebrate Canada activities have become a tradition offering Canadians the opportunity to share their pride in their country, said Devolin. The success of these events is due, in great part, to the volunteer members who work tirelessly to ensure each Canadian has an opportunity to enjoy local celebrations.
The money will be used to help cover some of the costs of the various Canada Day celebrations taking place from June 26th to July 1st across the riding. Events such as live music, family games, fireworks, free barbeques, children's activities and parades will be offered.
The successful applicants are:
Beaverton Canada Day Committee funding in the amount of $1,575
