GROW Your Community Grant is Back!

The 2021-22 GROW Your Community Grant supports the re-introduction of sport, culture and recreation programming with an outdoor/nature focus. As a result of the unprecedented times, communities experienced the closure of parks, playgrounds, and outdoor spaces as well as the halt of programming. This grant will assist communities to ‘Embrace the Outdoors’ this fall and winter and help people of all ages continue to focus on their mental and physical health by going outside!
