Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada has invited media to an infrastructure announcement in Debert, N.S., on Thursday, Oct. 29, involving federal and provincial officials and the Mi’kmawey Debert Cultural Centre.

Taking part are Alana Hirtle, the member of Parliament for Cumberland–Colchester; Dave Ritcey, Nova Scotia's minister of communities, culture, tourism and heritage and the member of the legislative assembly for Truro–Bible Hill–Millbrook–Salmon River; and Tim Bernard, executive director of the Mi’kmawey Debert Cultural Centre.

The event is to be held across from the Mi’kmawey Debert Interpretive Trail, at 1947 Plains Road in Debert, according to the advisory. The department issued the advisory on Oct. 28.

The advisory does not describe what will be announced, and no start time was given. Media inquiries go to federal and provincial communications offices and the cultural centre.
