Provincial Government Increases Support
for Community Recreation Programming
The Provincial Government has announced the allocation
of $504,480 to support local recreation programming through the 2009
Community Recreation Development Grants Program.
The Honourable Clyde Jackman, Minister of Tourism,
Culture and Recreation, was in Bay Bulls this morning to announce that
209 small communities throughout Newfoundland and Labrador will benefit
from the program, which will see an additional $122,260 in grant funding
dispersed this year.
"One of the main objectives of the Provincial
Government�s recreation and sport strategy, Active, Healthy
Newfoundland and Labrador, is to increase participation in
recreation, sport and physical activity," said Minister Jackman. "By
offering our support to local recreation and sport committees that
promote and encourage residents to get physically active, we are one
step closer to fulfilling that goal."
The Community Recreation Development Grants Program is
an application-based program designed to help offset the cost of general
recreation, sport and active-living programs in communities with less
than 6,000 people. Budget 2009: Building on Our Strong Foundation
provided an additional $200,000 to recreational programming initiatives,
bringing the total annual budget to $600,000.
Minister Jackman also took the opportunity to announce
that the Town of Bay Bulls will receive $10,000 in funding to assist
with the financial costs of hosting the upcoming 2009 Regional Games for
the Bay Bulls to Bauline East region, to be held later this summer.
"By hosting another regional games event, the
communities from Bay Bulls to Bauline East are acknowledging how
important it is for the province�s youth to become more active and to
participate in physical activity," said Keith Hutchings, MHA for the
District of Ferryland. "This is an opportunity to build on the excellent
work being done by the Bay Bulls-Bauline Athletic Association in the
region, and the efforts to provide our youth with a full range of
activities to ensure healthy living."
Since the introduction of the province�s recreation
and sport strategy, Active, Healthy Newfoundland and Labrador
(2007), more than $8 million in new funding has been invested in the
recreation and sports sectors.
