Canada and Nova Scotia Invest Over C$1 Million to Build Three Educational Trails for the Mi'kmawey Debert Cultural Centre
Debert, Nova Scotia, Canada. On October 29, Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada announced that the Government of Canada and the Government of Nova Scotia will invest more than C$1 million to build three educational trails for the Mi'kmawey Debert Cultural Centre.
The federal government is investing C$942,000 through the Active Transportation Fund, and Nova Scotia is contributing C$100,000. Federal funding is conditional on the signing of a contribution agreement.
The announcement was made by Member of Parliament Alana Hirtle, Nova Scotia Minister of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage Dave Ritcey, and the centre's executive director Tim Bernard, at an event celebrating the start of the centre's construction. The three trails form part of the cultural centre and will complement the visitor experience.
The Debert area is an Indigenous archaeological district with more than 10,000 years of history, and once complete, the cultural centre will present Mi'kmaq history and culture.
