On this day before Remembrance Day comes word of government financial support for what is arguably the busiest place in South Porcupine.
Legion Branch 287 is getting $36,000 from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund. Presenting the money, Timmins MPP George Pirie noted that it will help with building upgrades that include roof replacement, washroom renovations and improvements to accessibility, safety and building efficiency.
It’s the branch’s slice of $1.3-million from the NOHFC to eleven Legion branches across the north.
