Woolwich’s ability to prepare for emergencies just got a $45,000 boost from the province.
Minister of Emergency Preparedness & Response Jill Dunlop was in Elmira Friday, joined by MPP Mike Harris and Mayor Sandy Shantz, to announce the township will receive $44,306.83 from a Community Emergency Preparedness Grant (CEPG).
The township will use the funding for road-emergency response equipment, including signage, barricades, cones, sandbags and generators.
