Upgrades coming to the Merritt Curling Club

MERRITT – The Merritt curling club will be getting some upgrades after a grant was funded by the Government of BC.

$120,000 will be going to the club to do facility upgrades and getting a new roof in part of the BC’s Community Gaming Grants program.

“As the organizations in B.C. communities continue to emerge from pandemic-restricted operations and the challenges of operating over the past two years, provincial gaming grant funding is one of their vital sources of income,” said Caroline Miller, chair, BC Association for Charitable Gaming. “Funding major capital projects means fresh starts, expansion, repairs and broadening an organization’s impact on and reach into their community.”

This is the final round of 2021-2022 funding and the Community Gaming Grants capital projects program will provide $3.8 million to 51 not-for-profit organizations throughout B.C., this is in addition to $5 million in capital funding for 45 not-for-profit groups announced in January 2022.
