A Tweed winery is benefiting from funding support to allow them to become more accessible.
The Potter Settlement Artisan Winery received $100,000 in support through the small projects component of the Enabling Accessibility Fund.
Hastings – Lennox and Addington MP Mike Bossio made the funding presentation today on behalf of the Honourable Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Public Services and Procurement and Accessibility.
The funding will allow for constructing access ramps and decking, concrete access for transportation, and building an accessible washroom.
MP Bossio says this funding shows the support for the burgeoning rural tourism sector that Potter Settlement Winery is helping to grow.
Potter Settlement Winery owner Sandor Johnson says they are grateful for the funding that will help them to provide an amazing wine tasting experience to all.
Providing support to help persons with disabilities access their communities and workplaces is a key part of the Government’s plan to create a more inclusive and accessible Canada.
