Canada Invests $221,500 in St. George’s Tennis Club Upgrades
The Government of Canada has announced a $221,500 federal investment for St. George’s Tennis Club in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The funding, provided through the Build Communities Strong Fund via ACOA, will support court resurfacing and infrastructure improvements.
On September 27, 2026, the Government of Canada announced a federal investment of $221,500 for St. George’s Tennis Club in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The announcement was made by MP Darren Fisher on behalf of Minister Sean Fraser, who is responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA).
This funding is provided through the Build Communities Strong Fund (BCSF), which was launched by Prime Minister Carney in April 2026. The investment will support specific upgrades to the club's facilities, including the resurfacing of five clay tennis courts, improvements to the HydroCourt irrigation system, and the installation of new fencing.
St. George’s Tennis Club, founded in 1885, operates as a non-profit seasonal recreational facility from May to October. The project aims to enhance the quality, safety, accessibility, and longevity of the tennis facility while supporting healthy, active living and community recreation.
ACOA is set to deliver nearly $76 million ($75,986,000) over four years through the BCSF Local Impact stream, as announced on June 8, 2026. This broader initiative contributes to strengthening local infrastructure and economies in Atlantic Canada, as well as advancing energy efficiency and sustainability goals.
