The province has announced it will be handing out almost $3.6 million in marking 30 years of the Community Places Program.

The funding is earmarked for projects championed by non-profit and community led organizations.

“Over the last three decades, Community Places has helped thousands of community groups make their projects a reality,” said Indigenous and Municipal Relations Minister Eileen Clarke.  “These projects have enriched the lives of countless Manitobans and our new government is honoured to be part of this milestone year.”

The community places program provides funding and planning assistance to build, upgrade, expand or acquire facilities focused on culture, recreation and wellness.  

Successful grant applicants must also contribute to project costs.

This year, 214 community groups will receive a grant.
