Canso — Canso will see improvements to its wastewater management after a combined investment of more than $350,000 from the federal and provincial governments and the Municipality of the District of Guysborough. Announced by Parliamentary Secretary Mike Kelloway, Minister John Lohr, and Warden Vernon Pitts, the project will fund the construction of an equalization tank and the installation of an aeration system to hold and treat additional wastewater flows in Canso. These upgrades will increase the community’s capacity to treat and manage wastewater and stormwater.
“The project announced will ensure the wastewater system in Canso can treat and manage wastewater and stormwater for years to come. By increasing the amount of wastewater the system can manage, the community will help safeguard the environment and the health of those who live here.” – Mike Kelloway, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard and Member of Parliament for Cape Breton–Canso, on behalf of Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities
