Late last week, the provincial government announced several grants for projects in the Dawson Trail riding. Seven different community groups will share a total of $95,000.
In Île-des-Chênes, the Gabrielle-Roy Parent Advisory Committee, has been awarded $20,000 to purchase equipment for a multiuse fitness facility at the school.
The St. Adolphe Child Care Centre has also been awarded $20,000, which will be used toward the purchase of new furnishings and equipment for their still in development facility on Main Street. Also in St. Adolphe, Club Amical will receive $11,037.84 for the purchase of new kitchen equipment.
An additional $20,000 will be given to the Grande Pointe Homeowners Association to purchase an ice resurfacer and tractor.
Further afield, the Lorette Minor Hockey Association will receive $4,830.75 (to replace hockey goal nets and a floor buffer), the Ross Community Centre will receive $4,168.75 (to replace hockey goal nets and purchase an upright freezer), and the Landmark Recreation Association has been granted $14,746.50 (to help maintain its sports fields).
“Our PC government understands that, in communities like ours, supporting small projects can make a big difference,” said Bob Lagassé, MLA for Dawson Trail. “I’m very proud that we’re making these investments that will improve the lives of so many Dawson Trail families.”
The grants are a result of Manitoba Municipal Affairs’ Community Support Small Grant Program.
