Funding for Canada Games Park

(Brandon) December 7, 2009 – Merv Tweed, Member of Parliament for Brandon-Souris is pleased to announce support for a new baseball field at Canada Games Park adjacent to Andrews Field. 

Funding of $60,986 was awarded under the Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RInC) program to build the new baseball field in Brandon.

“I am happy to announce the Government of Canada’s support for recreation in Brandon,” said Tweed. “The new senior baseball diamond will be a welcome addition to the Brandon Sports Community.” 

“The funding support from Western Economic Diversification will contribute to the establishment of a first class senior baseball diamond for our Community,” said Rick Bailey Director of Community Services. “The new baseball field will not only fulfill the needs of our local baseball groups, but will also allow Brandon to showcase itself when hosting large tournaments.”

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.
