The federal government has promised $6-million in funding for the City of Colwood’s plan to build a multi-use pathway at Esquimalt Lagoon.
The funding was part of a larger announcement of $103.5 million in federal funding to support 45 infrastructure projects across British Columbia."This accessible multi-use pathway will allow visitors to enjoy the spectacular waterfront in Colwood while protecting sensitive ecological and archaeological shoreline areas," said Colwood Mayor Doug Kobayashi.
The project will include natural infrastructure to safeguard the peninsula from sea-level rise and the restoration of riparian vegetation in the salt marsh.
