Residents in Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound will see repairs to critical infrastructure thanks to a joint funding announcement from the governments of Ontario and Canada.
The new Small Communities Fund is open to all communities with a population under 100,000 people.
Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MPP, who is attending the annual Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference in Niagara Falls this week, welcomed the news that sees the provincial and federal government working together to support the growth of our region.
"I'm hearing a common theme from mayors and councillors at AMO that our communities have been shortchanged by the province for years," Walker said.

More than $500 million is up for grabs under the new Small Communities Fund funded by the federal and provincial governments.
