With GX94's Craig Wallebeck > see him @ http://www.gx94radio.com/craig-wallebeck

This week we focus on:   Community Rink Affordability Grant "Saskatchewan is built on the strength of its communities and upon a history of vibrant, self-sufficient and socially supportive towns and cities. Healthy individuals and communities are dependent upon a recreation infrastructure that provides attractive and safe places and spaces in which to play, socialize, rejuvenate and challenge the mind, body and spirit. In support of this infrastructure, the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport is pleased to partner with SPRA to offer the Community Rink Affordability Grant. The Community Rink Affordability Grant is a program for communities in Saskatchewan to register their indoor Skating or Curling rinks for funding. The Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association reviews the registration and determines eligibility" http://www.spra.sk.ca/funding/crag/ SPRA provides a variety of program and services specific to parks and recreation. Program and service areas include children and youth, fitness and active living, facilities, parks and much more!
