Trillium revamp will delay skate park funding application
Changes to the application process have pushed back the township’s plans to apply for an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant for a skate park in Drayton.
CAO Patty Sinnamon reported at the Jan. 27 meeting the foundation is in the midst of revamping its guidelines.
She said an announcement regarding the guidelines is expected in the spring “and my understanding is there will be a summer intake” of applications.
The town has been working on an application for a proposed skate park at Kinsmen Park in Drayton and was planning to have it ready for submission this month.
The Drayton Skatepark Committee currently has commitments from local businesses for about $20,000 of the estimated $100,000 project cost.
The township is hoping to share the balance with the Trillium Foundation.
