Community Rink Affordability Grant Program application period opens Oct. 17.

REGINA —The government of Saskatchewan is partnering with the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association (SPRA) in accepting applications from communities for the Community Rink Affordability Grant (CRAG), committing $1.7 million to the program for 2022-23.

CRAG provides funding for community-owned indoor skating and curling rinks. In 2021-22, a total of the 594 ice surfaces received funding, including 377 skating rinks and 217 curling rinks.

The SPRA administers and delivers the program on behalf of the government of Saskatchewan.

"Once again, SPRA Is proud to partner with the provincial government to administer this important grant program," SPRA president Jody Boulet said. "As costs continue to increase, every dollar is critical to maintaining the recreation places and spaces that make our communities great places to live and play."

Communities, First Nations, schools and non-profits are eligible and encouraged to register for an annual grant of $2,500 per indoor ice surface.
