EDMONTON, AB, March 16, 2021 /CNW/ - The health and well-being of Canadians are top priorities for the governments of Canada and Alberta. Investments in Alberta s public infrastructure during this extraordinary time help create jobs, support local businesses and economies, and make communities more sustainable and resilient.
Today, the Honourable Jim Carr, Special Representative for the Prairies, on behalf of the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Canada s Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, and the Honourable Ric McIver, Alberta s Minister of Transportation and Municipal Affairs, announced funding for 61 infrastructure projects that will create and maintain active transportation infrastructure as well as provide repairs and upgrades to recreation and community centres, municipal buildings, and health care facilities across the province.
New pickleball courts will go in at Leisure Centre
Poll
Should authorities crack down on churches that break public health orders for capacity, social distancing and masks?
Yes
Details are scarce, but the location of a planned pickleball facility will be at the Family Leisure Centre in Crescent Heights.
The plan to build a 20-court pad specific to the recreational sport was first unveiled last October on a long list of projects the city hoped to secure federal and provincial grants for, as part of a stimulus program for the local construction sector.
At that time officials said they were evaluating a number of locations to the $2-million project, but this week, when the city confirmed it met federal requirements, the southeast corner of the large venue was noted.
