Sport, Culture & Recreation COVID Assistance Grant

Parkland Valley has been able to set aside a small amount of funds to provide some financial support to non-profit groups that deliver sport, culture and recreation activities that are struggling to pay power & gas bills due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These organizations have had limited access to raise funds to maintain their facilities due to the pandemic restrictions.

Eligibility
– Organizations eligible to apply include non-profit organizations such as Seniors’ Centres and organizations who pay power & gas bills to operate cultural, sport or recreation facilities not operated by Municipalities or First Nations bands.
– Organizations applying must exist within the Parkland Valley District boundaries.
– Ice rinks/surfaces are ineligible.
