The Town of Victoria�s Recreation Commission is upgrading its recreational infrastructure with the help of $15,000 provided through the Provincial Government�s 2010 Capital Grant Program.

"This funding will be used to assist with the replacement of fencing, the upgrading of the surface at the community ball field, and other improvements," said the Honourable Terry French, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Recreation. "A well-maintained softball field will provide area residents of all ages with the opportunity to further enjoy organized and recreational activities in an outdoor environment."

The Victoria Recreation Commission is among more than 40 recreation commissions, municipalities and community-based organizations throughout the province which have received funding to upgrade their recreation and sport infrastructure through these latest Capital Grant Program investments.

"Victoria is a beautiful community with strong recreational roots," said the Honourable Jerome Kennedy, Minister of Health and Community Services and MHA for Carbonear-Harbour Grace. "This funding, combined with a loyal and dedicated group of volunteers, will help the community grow its recreational programming"
