Funding for Recreation Facility in Hants County

Residents of Hants County will see enhancements to the Gordon Hughes Tennis Club in Windsor with a provincial grant.

“This investment is another reminder of government’s commitment to promoting physical activity for Nova Scotians,” said Hants West MLA Melissa Sheehy-Richard, on behalf of Allan MacMaster, Minister of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage. “Tennis players of all ages will benefit from newly levelled, resurfaced and lined courts for many years to come.”

The facility, also known as the Windsor Tennis Club, has been in operation since 1978.

The grant is part of a series of announcements taking place across the province.
