Canada’s federal government has scheduled Secretary of State (Seniors) Stephanie McLean to discuss budget investments in community recreation facilities and ice rinks in Victoria, while leaving the projects and funding totals unspecified.
Employment and Social Development Canada said McLean is scheduled to appear at Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre Arena at noon ET Saturday, Nov. 14 (9 a.m. PT; 5 p.m. UTC), where she is scheduled to speak with young hockey players. The department said event details are subject to change.
The department framed the planned investments as part of efforts to strengthen Canada’s economic resilience and independence and ease affordability pressures. It has planned a post-announcement session for reporters and photographers.
An earlier Budget 2026 appearance involving Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Rebecca Alty was scheduled in Yellowknife, and its advisory also left program and funding details open, as EconoTimes’ coverage of Alty’s appearance reported.
