Brant Curling Club receives $30,000
June 30, 2009
(Brantford) June 30, 2009 - The Brant Curling Club will be installing energy efficient lighting and a new compressor motor thanks to a joint federal and provincial investment of $30, 770 to renovate the Morrell St. rink.  The announcement was made today by Brant MP Phil McColeman, Brant MPP Dave Levac and Brant Curling Club President Sylvia Chupka.

“This grant will help fund the replacement of the current rink lighting with more energy efficient fixtures as well as a new state of the art compressor motor,” said Club President Sylvia Chupka.  “This will help reduce energy costs and help to achieve our goal of becoming a more environmentally responsible curling club.  Thank you so very much”

The funding is being made available through the Recreational Infrastructure Canada Program and Recreation Ontario.  The programs are designed to provide timely, targeted stimulus to the economy through investments that will spur construction activity related to existing recreational infrastructure. Beyond economic stimulus and job creation, renewing, rehabilitating and modernizing our recreational infrastructure has the additional benefit of encouraging higher levels of participation in physical activity and community building.

“The Brant Curling Club has been a mainstay in our community since 1945 and it gives me great pleasure to see this money ensuring its presence in our community,” said MPP Dave Levac.  “When all levels of government work together with the community good things happen.”

“When you can stimulate the economy, do something for the environment and encourage physical health and well being all at the same time it’s worth celebrating,” said MP Phil McColeman.  “Our government is proud to support recreational infrastructure.”

The Brant Curling Club project is one of 758 projects across Ontario worth a total joint federal and provincial investment of more than $380 million.  Projects were selected on the basis of merit and construction readiness.
