Stag Harbour Rink to Get $10,500 Upgrade

A recreational facility in Stag Harbour, which has been inoperable for several years, is getting a new lease on life, thanks in part to the provision of $10,500 from the Provincial Government’s Community Capital Grant Program (CCGP).

“The outdoor rink, once a social hub within the community, had fallen into disrepair, and we were pleased to be able to help get it back in working order,” said the Honourable Terry French, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Recreation. “A facility such as this can serve as an integral component of outdoor physical, recreational and social activities in a community.”

Stag Harbour is among more than 30 communities throughout the province which have received funding to purchase equipment and upgrade their recreation and sport infrastructure through the most recent allocation of $450,900 through the CCGP.

“I am pleased that we are able to support Stag Harbour in its efforts to increase recreational activity in the community,” said Derrick Dalley, MHA for the Isles of Notre Dame. “Funding to improve recreational facilities will increase participation, enhance the health and wellness of residents, and motivate volunteers to continue their commitment to making a difference.”

The CCGP is an application-based program that provides grants of up to $15,000 to assist community-based recreation organizations to improve their recreation and sports infrastructures.
