Nipissing First Nation is receiving funding from the province to restore the Beaucage Park dock and boat launch area and install park amenities.
Vic Fedeli, MPP for Nipissing, announced $96,500 for the work.
“This funding will help make it easier for local residents to access the critical programming, activities, and spaces that make Nipissing a great place to live, work, and play,” says Fedeli. “Nipissing First Nation is a pillar of our community, and this support will enable them to better serve the people of Nipissing and continue to make a positive difference.”
The funding comes from the capital grant stream of the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
Chief Cathy Stevens says Beaucage Park is a space that holds deep cultural and personal meaning for her community.
“This project will ensure the dock, boat launch, and park amenities continue to serve as a gathering place where families connect, youth spend time on the land, and ceremony takes place,” says Stevens. “With this support, Beaucage Park will remain a vibrant and welcoming space for generations to come.”
The funding is being provided over six months.
