Rick Norlock, MP Northumberland Quinte West announced federal funding in the amount of $8,600 for the village of Colborne, presenting the cheque to Chair Pat Westrope (third from left). The money is being used by the Colborne 150th Celebration Committee to augment the July 30 - August 2 celebration of Colborne's 150th birthday.
“I am pleased that our government recognizes the importance of funding hallmark occasions such as the 150th Anniversary of the village of Colborne,” said Mr. Norlock. “Colborne and Cramahe Township are a wonderful place to live and do business, but in particular the area is full of rich history and culture that predates the creation of Canada itself. I am glad to be here to help mark this occasion and look forward to the festivities that mark this anniversary on the long weekend of August.”
The funding is allocated from the ‘Community Historical Program Fund,’ from Heritage Canada, to promote and sustain community cultural and heritage initiatives.
On hand with Councillor Westrope were several of her committee members and Mayor Marc Coombs.
