Holder Announces More Funding
for Recreational Facilities in London

July 8, 2009 –  Member of Parliament Ed Holder is pleased to announce that in addition to the recreational funding announcements on Monday, an additional two London projects will receive funding. 

The City of London will receive almost $2 million from the federal and provincial governments towards their $3.5 million playing fields upgrade project.  The upgrade project will replace the playing fields with artificial turf and facilitate the construction of a Field House.

The Westmount Presbyterian Church will also receive $19,200 of federal and provincial funding towards their $32,000 upgrade project.  Their project will revive a 40-year-old facility by removing a stage and turning an auditorium into a gymnasium with improved lighting, increased floor space, a new athletic floor with markings, storage areas and basketball nets.

 “This funding will create jobs today and will improve the quality of life in London for many years to come.  Together with the provincial government and our partners, we are building a healthier London with $13.5 million of economic stimulus spending in recreational facilities.  I’m pleased so many worthwhile projects in London will receive this funding.
