NEW: Community Recreation Plan (CRP) Grant!
|
|
Planning is not just for big cities! Towns and Villages can plan too! A
community recreation plan identifies how to allocate resources for recreation services, programs and infrastructure. A community recreation plan answers three questions:
1. Where are we now? 2. Where would we like to be? 3. How are we going to get there? Apply for our Community Recreation Plan Grant now!
Call Joni Hagen, Executive Director at 306.842.2188 for more information!
