The Seton Centre in Carberry Receives Funding  

(Brandon) January 6, 2010 – Merv Tweed, Member of Parliament for Brandon-Souris, is pleased to announce funding to benefit The Seton Centre in Carberry. 

Funding of $11,738 was awarded under the Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAF) to provide an accessible entrance, install automatic door openers and upgrade washroom facilities.

“Our Government is committed to helping communities like Carberry upgrade their facilities to ensure they are accessible to all,” said Tweed. “This funding for the Seton Centre will enable full access to an important community facility.”

“The EAF grant we received has made a huge difference to our ability to include a wheelchair accessible washroom in the addition to The Seton Centre,” said Cheryl Orr-Hood. “Specifically, the money has made it possible to make the entrance to our new facility and its washrooms user friendly to everyone.” 

The EAF is a $45-million, three year commitment to expand opportunities for people with disabilities and improve accessibility across Canada.
