In 2016 Head, Clara & Maria staff was successful in obtaining funding through Canada 150 Program through Heritage Canada. We are pleased to acknowledge receipt of funds from the federal government for improvements to the municipal boat launches at Mackey, Stonecliffe and Deux Rivieres. Funding has allowed us to install solar motion activated lights, dock extensions with reflectors, permanent waste and recycling receptacles and still to come, new picnic tables. Council heard your request for improved facilities. With assistance from the federal government, they came to fruition. Thank you.
In 2011 funding was received from the Federal and Provincial governments through "Canada's Economic Action Plan" and "Ontario's Creating Jobs. Building Ontario." infrastructure programs to update the municipal hall/office/library and garage.
Funding was received from Human Resource and Development Canada through the "Enabling Accessibilty Fund" to update the outdated and inaccessible washroom facilities within the Community Hall.
The Federal Gas Tax funds were used to meet the requirements of Ontario's new drinking water legislation and update the water facilities at the Municipal hall including a new well, and filtering systems.
The Ontario Trillium Foundation approved funding in excess of $30,000 to install a pavillion and play equipment at Old Mackey Park making this a comfortable gathering place for young and old alike.
Thank you to the various individuals who worked on, approved and implemented these programs so that our residents could benefit. Through various grant and fundraising efforts we hope to continue with our record of success.
