Scotia’s wineries and farmers market in Wolfville.

The
Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency issued a statement recently saying the
agency will hand $220,000 to the Winery Association of Nova Scotia.

The
money, from the agency’s Innovative Communities Fund, is for development of a
marketing strategy.

Meanwhile,
the Wolfville farmers market will soon have a new, year-round home thanks to a
$250,000 federal investment.

The
money will be used to renovate the DeWolfe Building, a former apple warehouse.

Additional
funding for the project includes $245,000 from Nova Scotia’s Agriculture
Department and $3,000 from the Town of Wolfville.
