Today, Brian Saunderson, MPP for Simcoe-Grey, announced the Ontario government is providing four non-profit organizations in Simcoe-Grey with $476,400 in funding through the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s (OTF) capital grant stream.
This funding will help to ensure our communities have safe and ready access to critical programming, activities, and spaces. The local recipients are:

Congratulations to all.”
The OTF’s capital grant stream helps to improve the infrastructure Ontarians enjoy. Whether it’s purchasing equipment, building a new space, or completing renovations, retrofits or repairs, these grants support projects that are having a positive impact in Clearview, Collingwood and Wasaga Beach.
“Non-profit organizations across Ontario deliver programming that makes a difference — whether it’s helping people train for new careers, learn new things, or simply connect with those around them,” said Neil Lumsden, minister of tourism, culture and sport. “That’s why capital grant support is so important. This funding will help ensure these spaces remain the heart of communities across our province.”
Capital grants improve access to programs and technology in community spaces, making it easier for Ontarians to participate in community programs.
Funded projects:
- Improve access to facilities, programs, activities and services
