New Lowell United receives big grant

The New Lowell United Church’s Accessibility For All fundraising campaign received a lift last Sunday when Simcoe-Grey MP Dr. Kellie Leitch announced that the church will receive a $50,000 grant from the federal government’s Enabling Accessibility Fund. The church is attempting to raise $350,000 to put a 1,000-square-foot accessible addition on the front of its 103-year-old building.
