COATICOOK. Four projects will benefit from Coaticook’s MRC’s Living Environments Vitality Fund. Thanks to this program, more than $315,000 will be made available.
Initially, the City of Coaticook will receive an amount of $151,450 from the local budget to continue rebuilding the city's swimming pool. In this way it will be possible to maintain this important local service that is clearly visible in the community.
The Coaticook Medical Clinic will be allocated an amount of $85,000 for its modernization project, coming from the territorial budget over two years. The aim is to support these actors in the sustainability of this vital service for the population. Employee retention is also a desired goal.
The Coaticook MRC Volunteer Action Center will receive $70,000, $45,000 of which will come from the local Coaticook envelope. The money will be used to improve the organization's kitchens, which are used for Meals on Wheels activities. This also allows them to increase their production capacity.
Finally, an amount of $8,900 will be provided to the Dixville community to purchase equipment and furniture that will be used to create a new community space. This will be located in the former Dixville Home Foundation residents' gymnasium.
