Nova Scotia Invests $100,000 to Upgrade North Preston Day Care Centre
The Nova Scotia government is providing $100,000 to upgrade the 54-year-old North Preston Day Care Centre, replacing its 1970s oil heating system with electric heat pumps and adding solar panels, insulation, windows, doors, and light fixtures.
African Nova Scotian Affairs Minister Twila Grosse announced on Tuesday that the Nova Scotia government is spending $100,000 on upgrades to the North Preston Day Care Centre in North Preston, Nova Scotia. 
The facility, which serves the historic African Nova Scotian community, is 54 years old. The building is currently heated by an oil-filtered boiler and baseboard radiators dating back to the 1970s.
The planned upgrades include installing a new energy-efficient electric heat pump system to replace the outdated heating infrastructure. Funding will also cover the installation of solar panels, new insulation, windows, doors, and energy-efficient light fixtures. 
The investment aims to improve energy efficiency and comfort through modern heating and infrastructure upgrades, strengthening an important community space for the historic African Nova Scotian community.
