Inclusive Community Recreation Infrastructure Fund
The Sport and Recreation Branch has developed the Inclusive Community Recreation Infrastructure Fund. This fund will focus on improving the existing infrastructure for the purpose of increasing inclusion and access in recreation and sport activity. Assistance is based on need and the Fund will support up to 100% of eligible expenses to a maximum of $10,000. Clubs that are interested in this funding can work with their pool manager to explore possible improvements to the accessibility of their facilities.
Further details on the fund and the application form can be found here:
