ABRIDGED IRON BRIDGE, ON (January 22, 2013) - Across Northern Ontario, community and cultural centres, hockey rinks, swimming pools, and other community projects will soon begin repair and rehabilitation work thanks to support from the Harper Government’s Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF).

The Honourable Tony Clement, Minister for FedNor, today announced a project in the Municipality of Huron Shores that will benefit from the fund.

Through the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund, the Municipality of Huron Shores will receive $48,015 to refurbish and complete upgrades to the Ward 4 Recreation Centre.
