Hampton Hall Board and Haydon Hall Board - Capital Project
Members of Council are aware that the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation
has more applications for Wintario and C.R.C.A. monies than there are
available funds. The Ministry sets its own priorities and funds projects
based on those priorities. It can take up to a year, once an application
has been received by the Ministry for a decision on the funding to be made.
The Town already has a number of projects for which applications have been
made to the Ministry, but no decisions on funding have yet been reached.
Those applications were submitted in May and September 1982.
As of May 3rd, 1983, the Minister of Tourism and Recreation had not announced
the program criteria for the grants for 1983. The Ministry offices are,
therefore, not accepting applications for grants for this fiscal year, until
the new programs are announced. The Town would like to proceed with the
projects, but not at the cost of losing eligibility to apply for any grant
monies which might be available. As a result of the above concerns, G.P.A.
Resolution #407-83 is before Council today for ratification.
Respectfully submitted,
