Rotary Skate Park Update Rotary Club of Vegreville President Ashley Brown Given the current state of our Community, our Province, our Country, and the World, Rotary Club of Vegreville is adjusting the schedule of the building of the skatepark. The Skatepark will now be scheduled for building the summer of 2021 or 2022 depending on securing the required funds.
Unfortunately Rotary was not successful in getting the Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP) large stream grant it applied for October 1, 2019, as the CFEP granting committee wants to see all matching funds in place prior to approving an application. Rotary’s request was for $425,000 and through the tremendous support of our community, Rotary has raised just over $320,000 to date. This
is outstanding and we want to thank you and the entire community for all your support. The government has also adjusted the CFEP large stream application deadline from October 1 to June 15 so in order to reapply this year, Rotary would need to raise an additional $110,000 by June 15, 2020, or focus on applying in June 2021. Rotary will not be proceeding with
actively requesting donations and support at this time. Should however donations be made to raise $110,000 before June 15, 2020, Rotary will reapply to CFEP this year. Please look after your family, yourselves, and stay healthy. As Canadians, Albertans and Vegrevillians we will get through this by helping each other, and don’t forget we are all in this together.
