Thanks to a $200,000 investment from the provincial government’s Sustainable Community Challenge Fund, the curling club’s project to use solar panels to help power their building on 56 Young St. has come a little closer to reality.
Solar panels will help the curling club store renewable energy to create ice for their rink more efficiently, said Juanita Spencer, CEO of the Nova Scotia Federation of Municipalities.Dave Ritcey, MLA for Truro-Bible Hill-Millbrook-Salmon River, announced the funding on behalf of Environment and Climate Change Minister Timothy Halman. He spoke briefly about the Sustainable Community Challenge Fund and how it seeks to help communities adapt to climate change.
“This system will help our club, most importantly, maintain the ice and ensure this facility remains a vibrant part of our community.”
