A $300,000 project in the
Township of Colborne has been
approved under the Canada/Ontario
Lpfra-struclure Works program,
Huron-Bruce MP Paul Steckle,
Huron MPP Paul Klopp and Reeve
Bill Vanstone announced July 14.
Funding will be used to construct
a new municipal building to replace
offices currently located in the 150-
year-old former hotel and will
create an estimated 181 person-
weeks of employment. The new
building will be wheelchair access
ible, with meeting rooms and
modernized council chambers to
accommodate the public.
Work will begin immediately and
should be completed by November.
"This program has offered
communities across Ontario the
opportunity to proceed with
projects in a timely fashion. This
project will directly and positively
affect the residents of Colborne,"
said Mr. Steckle.
"In addition to creating jobs, this
project will enhance the quality of
life for residents by providing a
new gathering place for community
events and allowing for more
public input al council meetings,"
said Mr. Klopp.
"The council oi tne Township of
Colborne is pleased to receive the
support of the federal and
_ ----— •
provincial governments and the
ratepayers of the township to
provide a facility which will create
short-term employment for several
area contractors,” said Mr.
Vanstone. "The increased accessi
bility, energy conservation and
reduced maintenance costs of the
new building will benefit the
ratepayers of Colborne Township."

Works is a $2.1 billion shared-cost
program designed to create jobs
through local priority projects

The program, which is expected
