The Ontario government is investing more than $900,000 for repairs and renovations at eight non-profit agencies in Simcoe County.
The investment is part of the provinces Partner Facility Renewal program and includes:
- The Women and Children’s Shelter of Barrie is receiving $44,500 for general repair and maintenance, and the installation of a new fire panel and alarm;
- Community Living Huronia is receiving $170,500 for roof replacement and updated heating systems;
- Simcoe Community Services is receiving $269,400 for roof work, repairs, new generators.
“Community agencies in Simcoe County provide invaluable help to so many. Investments in these projects will result in stronger services and better programs for those who use them in our community,” said Barrie MPP Ann Hoggarth. “This type of investment in infrastructure renewal means that agency staff can focus on what it is they do best – delivering high-quality supports in our communities.”
Through the annual Partner Facility Renewal program, the province is investing $16 million for upgrades and repairs at more than 170 community agencies across Ontario. The investments help developmental services, community services, Violence Against Women agencies, and Aboriginal Healing and Wellness Strategy agencies better serve clients.
