Grant Awards
Our grant-writing committee was hard at work last winter, and we are now seeing the fruits of our labours. At the July 11th Good Cheer Garden Group, Councillor Gregory Heming awarded the Hall $1,058 from the Municipality of the County of Annapolis Community Halls Assistance Program. The funds will pay for new lighting in the main Hall. We are grateful to the County for their support.
In July, two new air circulating fans were installed in the Hall. This is phase one of a group of improvements to enable the Hall to be open 12 months of the year. The fan installation is funded by a grant received from The Parker Mountain Wind Turbine Society in Annapolis Royal. Thank you to the Society for allowing us to move forward with our goals to serve the local community all-year round.
