Curling Assistance Program

Deadline: January 11, 2013

For more information: http://www.curling.ca/programs-and-services/curling-assistance-program/

The Canadian Curling Association (CCA) has allocated funds from certain championship events for the purpose of providing financial assistance to the membership of the CCA including Provincial / Territorial Member Associations and affiliated curling facilities.

A maximum of $17,000 is available in two categories: Bricks & Mortar and Business Development.

This funding is known as the Curling Assistance Program (C.A.P.).

C.A.P. targets projects designed to grow the sport at the community level or to assist capital projects critical to the operation and health of the CCA’s membership.

The CCA would like to thank the thousands of volunteers who have unselfishly donated their time and energy contributing to the success of our national championships, which ultimately funded this program.
