Community League Capital Funding Up $1.5 million
Ok, the good news first! We were successful in getting another $1.5 million in funding earmarked for the Community League Infrastructure program for 2012! This means $3 million will be available as matching funds to fix up old community league facilities (halls, rinks, basketball courts etc.) and to build new facilities as well in 2012! Edmonton City Council recognized the need for this funding and voted unanimously to support the new allocation of funds. If you submitted applications in 2011, but did not get funds be sure to re-apply this year. Please also try to find out why your application in 2011 was turned down. Was it because your project did not meet the criteria for the funds or was it simply because there wasn't enough money? Ask your community recreation coordinator to help you figure this out and then re-apply.
