The City of Mount Pearl last week voted to apply for provincial government funding for some new accessible picnic tables and benches.
“On February 20th, 2023, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador announced they were accepting applications for Building Age-Friendly Community Grants to help municipalities make necessary upgrades to their communities to accommodate the needs of seniors and all individuals as they age,” said councillor Bill Antle, who added that the Recreation and Community Safety Committee recommends approval to proceed with an application for funding for accessible picnic tables and benches for the total amount of $21,128.
Councillor Chelsea Lane seconded the motion, and the motion passed unanimously.
There was no further discussion on the matter.
