A community art installation spearheaded by Public Health has been given a boost.
The project was put on the back burner when the pandemic hit, but thanks to government funding, it’s been given new life.
More than $54,000 in combined federal and provincial funding through the COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program is aimed at support the rehabilitation of active transportation infrastructure and networks, including the bike rack community art installation project in CK.
The federal contribution totals $43,619, plus $10,905 from the province.
Six designs were chosen back in 2019 for competition to create new bike racks to be stationed outside public libraries across the municipality.
Municipal officials say they’re still ironing out the details and hope to make an official announcement soon.
