Ottawa funds $221,500 in upgrades at Dartmouth tennis club
A federal contribution will support court resurfacing, irrigation work and new fencing at the nonprofit St. George’s Tennis Club in Dartmouth.
The federal government is providing $221,500 to St. George’s Tennis Club in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, for upgrades to the nonprofit facility.
The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency announcement, dated September 27, says the work will include resurfacing five clay courts, upgrading the HydroCourt irrigation system and installing new fencing.
The funding comes through the Local Impact Stream of the federal Build Communities Strong Fund. Ottawa says ACOA is delivering nearly $75.99 million through that stream over four years across Atlantic Canada.
St. George’s Tennis Club was founded in 1885 and operates seasonally from May to October, according to the federal release. The announcement did not specify a construction schedule or reopening date for the upgraded courts.
