Over $5.1M is going to communities of Springfield-Ritchot for arts, culture, and sports.
The provincial government announced the funding on Saturday.
“I am pleased and proud to support this growth in my community”, said Ron Schuler, MLA for Springfield-Ritchot. “This funding shows that the communities of Springfield-Ritchot are vibrant, dynamic communities that have much to offer Manitoba as a whole. One project in particular that I want to highlight is the Springfield Community Recreation Centre, which is being provided $4.7 million dollars. This funding will enable the communities of Springfield-Ritchot to be places where people will want to raise their families for generations to come.”
The Ste. Agathe Arena is getting $300,000 for a new ice plant, something that desperately needs replacing.
Arena Board President Josh Pawluk spoke with us last week and said they are looking at costs up to $800,000.
With funding commitment from the R.M. of Ritchot, corporate sponsorships, some grant money and this provincial contribution, they are now closer to their goal at $575,000.
