Nova Scotia — Construction is beginning on a new sidewalk in the Village of Canning after an investment of more than $700,000 from the federal government.
This new 630 metres of sidewalk will run along Summer Street between J Jordan Road and Chapel Road. The sidewalk will connect to other sidewalks in the village to create a safe route to the downtown core, a daycare, schools, a residential development, and recreation opportunities.
“Our government is committed to investing in infrastructure that increases opportunities for Canadians to navigate their communities without relying on their cars, resulting in reduced greenhouse gas emissions and less traffic congestion. This new section of sidewalk in Canning will connect people to key services in the village and promote a healthy lifestyle by making it safer and easier to get around Canning as a pedestrian.” – Kody Blois, Member of Parliament for on behalf of Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities
