Sask Lotteries Grant

The purpose of the program is to provide funds to volunteer organizations that provide programs and services in sport, culture and recreation.  Funds are provided through the Town of Assiniboia to maintain, improve and expand on programs and opportunities for people of all ages to derive the benefits from involvement in sport, culture and recreation activities.  For this reason, only those expenditures that can be directly related to programming will qualify for grant assistance.
