The Nova Scotia government is contributing more than $20,000 to physical activity projects in Queens County.

Queens MLA Kim Masland announced the $23,435 in funding for various initiatives in the Region of Queens. 

“The support for the Region of Queens Municipality is a great opportunity to encourage more active lifestyles across our community,” Masland said Thursday in a news release. 

“It’s encouraging to see such diverse initiatives being implemented, promoting health and wellness for all.”

The money comes from the Active Communities Fund, part of the Nova Scotia government’s strategy to boost physical activity in the province.

It will be up to the municipality to decide which programs receive the funding.
