Wetaskiwin MP Blaine Calkins recently presented a $50,000 Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) grant to install new bleachers and create a more comfortable environment in the Winfield Agriplex Arena.
“The Winfield Agriplex Arena is used by many local residents of all ages,” said Calkins. “I am pleased that our government is investing in the arena which will help improve the player and spectator experience at the facility, and contribute to our community’s long-term growth and prosperity.”
“The County of Wetaskiwin is sincerely appreciative of the programs provided by the Government of Canada which allows rural municipalities to share the significant costs of maintaining or improving local infrastructure,” said Reeve Garry Dearing.
“With the funding of this project we are ensuring the viability of this small community as the Winfield Agriplex is the centerpiece for community economic activity and the cultural core of the hamlet.”
