SAULT STE. MARIE, ONTARIO – Bryan Hayes, Member of Parliament for Sault Ste. Marie, on behalf of the Honourable Julian Fantino, Assistant Minister of National Defence, today announced an investment of $6 million for renovations at the Sault Ste. Marie Armoury.
The project includes the installation of a new ventilation system, repairs to the roof and lighting equipment, painting throughout the facility, and pavement work at the armoury. The work will be completed over the next two years and will help boost job creation in the Sault Ste. Marie area.
Locally known as the ‘Pine Street Armoury’, the facility is home to the 49th Field Artillery Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery, a reserve force unit of the Canadian Army’s 33 Canadian Brigade Group. The project announced today will ensure that the men and women of this regiment can continue to train, learn, and support their community in infrastructure that fully supports their needs.
