Seven million dollars is being committed by the Graham Government to build a new YM-YWCA in the former Zellers Building in the North End if the party is re-elected.
Leader Shawn Graham presented the committment during a news conference this morning with the total cost coming in at $22 million dollars. The “Y” says it will put forward nine million towards the project.
Graham says the Province has already invested in the projects for the “Y”s in both Moncton and Fredericton and Saint John is a good fit.
He adds the cash committment is already built into the party’s platform.
