First Completed Community Improvement Plan Project Improves Accessibility at Cardinal Legion

We are celebrating an important milestone with the completion of the first approved project under our new Community Improvement Plan (CIP).

On May 21, members of Council visited Royal Canadian Legion Branch 105 executives in Cardinal to recognize the completion of accessibility improvements supported through the CIP's Accessibility and Safety Renovation Grant and present a cheque for $5,000.

The project involved replacing uneven mixed-type flooring throughout the Legion’s community hall and bar area with one continuous flooring surface designed to improve accessibility and ease of movement for wheelchair users, individuals using walkers, and those with vision impairments.

The Legion serves as an important gathering space in the community, hosting events and gatherings throughout the year. The flooring improvements help create a safer and more accessible environment for visitors attending these activities.

The project represents a total investment of approximately $19,364, with support provided through our Community Improvement Plan, which offers funding to encourage accessibility, safety, and other improvements within eligible community and commercial spaces.

The Cardinal Legion project marks the first completed initiative funded through the Township’s Community Improvement Plan, demonstrating how the program can support improvements that strengthen community spaces and enhance accessibility.
