The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency formally announced today that the Broad Cove Community Association (BCCA) is one of 18 South Shore projects to receive funding through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund. The fund is aimed at fueling community and tourism revitalization and creating the conditions for local economies to thrive as they rebound from the effects of COVID-19.
BCCA received $125,756, allowing the Broad Cove Community Hall to make major strides towards its goal of being “welcoming and accessible to all ages and abilities.” As well as including an accessible washroom (with direct access from/to the outdoors), the renovations will integrate more use of outdoor space with hall events and improve the appeal and function of the hall by taking advantage of its seaside location.
ACOA is an important partner in funding the revitalization and accessibility project at the Broad Cove Hall, along with contributions from the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg and many individual donors.
