Boissevain Kinsmen Receive Funding For Playground 

(Brandon) January 6, 2009 – Merv Tweed, Member of Parliament for Brandon-Souris, is pleased to announce funding to the Kinsmen Club of Boissevain. 

Funding of $37,322 was awarded under the Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RInC) program to replace the Kinsmen play structure.

“Our Government is committed to assisting organizations such as the Kinsmen to renew their recreational infrastructure,” said Tweed. “This funding assists communities in keeping their facilities up to date and safe.”

“The Kin Clubs of Boissevain are extremely pleased to receive the grant,” said Sid Braybrook. “With this money and the great support from our community, we are able to provide a safe wheelchair accessible playground structure for our youth.”

The RInC Program, part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan, is investing $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.
