Government of Canada Invests in Clearwater’s Rotary Sports Park
January 18, 2010
Clearwater, BC – Cathy McLeod, Member of Parliament for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo, on behalf of the Honourable Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification, announced today federal funding to strengthen economic opportunities in Clearwater. Funding of $186,250 was provided under the Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RInC) program, a major job creating investment from Canada’s Economic Action Plan.

“Our Government’s investment in the Recreational Infrastructure Canada program is encouraging greater participation in physical education and the use of recreational facilities,” said McLeod. “The Rotary Sports Park is an important part of the community of Clearwater. It brings together families, friends and neighbours to learn new skills, exchange ideas, get fit and healthy, and have fun.”

The RInC funding will refurbish the Rotary Sports Park by resurfacing tennis and basketball courts, and building a field house and skateboard park.

“The District of Clearwater is delighted  to receive this funding, it provides the opportunity to enhance recreation, make lasting improvements to the community, encourage healthy living for our citizens and visitors while at the same time creating much needed jobs in our community”, stated Mayor Harwood. 

The Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RInC) program will invest $500 million in recreational facilities across Canada over a two-year period. It will provide a temporary economic stimulus that will help reduce the impacts of the global recession while renewing, upgrading and expanding recreational infrastructure in Canadian communities.

RInC is part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan, the Government of Canada’s multi-faceted stimulus plan that will ensure a quick recovery from the current economic downturn. Western Economic Diversification Canada is delivering the initiative in the four western provinces.
