Today, on behalf of the Government of Canada, I was tremendously proud to announce an investment in Budget 2025 of up to $12,000,000 for the new Victoria Highland Civic Centre.
This infrastructural commitment is a watershed moment for our riding, and for Cape Breton. As the only named project in Nova Scotia in Budget 2025 for this funding stream, this represents a landmark delivery for our region – and a strong recognition of the importance of this project.
People from across Cape Breton, and throughout Nova Scotia, will have access to a world-class sporting facility in Baddeck, and I couldn’t be prouder.
I would like to thank the community of Baddeck, and the Victoria Highland Civic Centre Steering Committee, for the exemplary work they’ve done to advocate for this funding – without you, this wouldn’t have been possible.
