The federal government will contribute more than $100,000  to four projects in Shelburne County. South Shore-St. Margarets MP Gerald Keddy was in Shelburne this morning to deliver the cheques. There was one for $10,250 for restoration work on the Sandy Point Lighthouse. Just over $11,000 will go toward improvements along historic Dock Street. A large investment of nearly $60,000 will help the Shelburne County Arena Association in making improvements to the Shelburne Arena. Another $26,530 will support the Municipality of the District of Shelburne to complete work on improving the washrooms, shower facilities, parking lot and floating docks at Welkum Park.
