MP David Wilks was in the Columbia Valley on Friday, November 16 to announce funding for local playground improvements under the Government of Canada’s Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF).

Federal funding of nearly $78,000 for the Village of Radium Hot Springs will help install new playgrounds and complete landscaping at two popular community parks — Central Radium Park and Kirk Street Park. Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) is delivering the fund in Western Canada with an allocation of $46.2 million over two years.
