Federal Seniors Minister Deb Schulte, centre, poses with MP Patrick Weiler, left, and Gibsons Mayor Bill Beamish March 3. Schulte announced $24,250 in funding for the Gibsons Public Market to help pay for acoustic renovations to the market’s main meeting space so that seniors who are hard of hearing can more comfortably take part in classes there. The market is hoping to have sound dampening baffles installed within the next six months but are still fund-raising since the total project cost will be about $40,000. Connie Jordison photo
