Queens: Funds For Museum, Fairgrounds & Curling Rink

It's a good news day in Queens County and a banner week for the region. South Shore-St Margaret's MP Gerald Keddy has made a trio of announcements in Liverpool and Caledonia. The largest is a $150,000 investment to support the Queens County Museum. The money will help overhaul a portion of the museum to create a new exhibit to commemorate the War of 1812 and display the role of the East Coast Privateers in the war. Meanwhile, the Liverpool Curling Club will get nearly $38,000 to help buy a new refrigeration system for the club.  The local rink is also in the midst of renovations in advance of the 2014 Junior Men's and Women's Curling Championships. The third announcement gives almost $13,000 to Queens County Fairgrounds to assist with roof repairs on pavilion facilities and electrical upgrades. In the last week, Keddy has announced more than $600 thousand dollars in funding for Shelburne, Queens and Lunenburg counties.
