Recreation grants
Grants are subject to the availability of funds in Council’s current year’s operating budget. An approval of a grant application in any year does not imply or suggest that approval will be received in subsequent years. If applying online or by email, you are encouraged to follow up with a phone call after submitting an application to ensure your email was received.
