Statement

Recreational facilities. Every child should have a chance to play sports and be active. We will create a matching funding program to encourage municipalities to build more fields, arenas, pools, and recreation facilities so families and children have more opportunities to get off the couch and into physical activity.

Overview

Provide 50/50 provincial capital matching grants to local governments building community sports infrastructure.
