It is my great pleasure to announce that the Blue Water Curling Club will be receiving $50,000 from the Community Building Fund - Operations Stream. The funds will be used to aid in our recovery from the impacts of COVID-19. This is a new Grant type for the Ontario Trillium Foundation, as they historically fund Capital projects. The money is to be used to off-set eligible operating expenses this year.
I would like to acknowledge and thank the team who worked to put together our application. Doug Karr, Cathy Moore-Coburn, and Mike Edney were all invaluable in their respective roles. I also want to thank anyone who helped us along the way to answer questions we had about our operations. Great work everyone! Your efforts will help to ensure that we have a financially successful curling season this year.
