There's a new fitness center in the works in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia, and it's going to be a lot bigger than the old one.
The provincial government announced Tuesday that it's giving $500,000 to the Municipality of the District of Guysborough to add an addition to the Canso & Area Arena, allowing the Fanning Fitness Center to relocate from its current location in Guysborough, the Chronicle Herald reports.
"The investment being made today by both the province and our municipality is an investment in the health and well-being of our residents," says the municipality's warden.
The library will receive $250,000 to install a new ramp and accessibility door, replace windows, upgrade the electrical system, and develop a building management plan, while the Chedabucto Snowmobile Club will enhance 15 miles of the Round Lake Wilderness Trail for multi-use access.
The government also announced that the Mary's ATV Club will develop a new connector route trail from Sonora toHazel Hill & Area Community Association will replace the roof of its community center, the Senior Citizens Shamrock Club will make repairs to its siding, door, and fence, and the Guysborough County Trails Association will widen a suspension bridge to install heat pumps at the community center.
