Applications are now being accepted for the Community Rink Affordability Grant Program.

The Government of Saskatchewan has allocated $1.6 million in this year’s budget for the program, which provides funding for community-owned indoor skating and curling rinks.

Last year, 581 ice surfaces received funding, including 376 skating rinks and 205 curling rinks. Through the grant, $2,500 is available for each ice surface per year for municipally owned facilities, schools, Indigenous communities and non-profit organizations.

To register for the Community Rink Affordability Grant program, an online form must be completed on the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association’s website.

Applications can be submitted until January 15, 2024.
