Queens: Council Supports New Caledonia Fire Hall

The Region of Queens has come through with some long awaited financial support for a new fire hall in Caledonia. Councillors approved $375,000 in funding for the association to help achieve their goal of raising $1.5 million for the new hall. The fire association has been working to secure money for the project for nearly and decade and was seeking a $700,000 contribution from the municipality. However, Clarke says they did the best they could under their current financial circumstances. The group has been working for nearly a decade to secure funding for a new fire hall in North Queens. Clarke is hopeful the municipalities contribution will spark other levels of government to chip in on the project.
