Rediscover Main Streets initiative invests in Labrador West Community Gardens Inc. for a Market and to host a farmers’ market in Labrador West
Labrador West, June 23, 2022 - Today, at the community garden in Labrador city, Yvonne Jones, Member of Parliament for Labrador, announced an investment of $30,281.00 to Labrador West Community Gardens Inc. for a Market and to host a farmers’ market in Labrador West.
The Rediscover Main Streets initiative is designed to support the economy by helping Atlantic Canadians re-experience their main streets, downtowns and neighbourhoods, no matter how big or small. This initiative reanimates and breathes new life into local economies affected by the global pandemic.
These funds will allow Labrador West Community Gardens Inc, and the Town of Labrador City to generate new ideas that inspire locals and tourists alike to rediscover all that our main streets, downtowns and neighbourhoods have to offer. And that supports a strong, resilient economy.
