by The federal government has announced about $196,000 to support three local facilities serving as comfort centres during severe weather.
Cape Breton-Canso MP Mike Kelloway made the announcement this afternoon at the Miners Forum in Glace Bay that’s one of the facilities getting a share of the funding.
The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency says the forum will be getting emergency power and lighting upgrades.
The funding will also be used to buy and install generators at the Glace Bay Volunteer Fire Department and at the John J. Nugent Fireman’s Centre in Sydney Mines.
