"I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Government of Canada for approving our request for funding under The Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program, which will help renovate the aging aquatic centre at the JCC of Greater Vancouver. With the funds provided by the Government, the JCC will be able to provide our members, patrons and residents of this area an improved, modernized and energy efficient aquatic facility. Major infrastructure projects like this would not be possible without help from financial grants like the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program."
