A third entry from Saint John is seeking enough online votes to secure money from the Aviva Community Fund. Seth Asimakos of the Saint John Community Loan Fund concedes they have a lot of catching up to do with just three days of voting left. Asimakos tells CHSJ News they want to construct a new building along Prince Edward Street to house non profit organisations like the Learning Exchange and also provide affordable housing.
The first phase is $500, 000 and another $600 to $700 thousand dollars for the next phase
The other projects from Saint John are about Marsh Creek and constructing a playground at Seawood School in memory of the late RCMP officer Jason Porter and his two children, 5 year old Hannah and 2 year old Jack who died in a traffic accident along Highway 7 two years ago.
