The 1989 Jeux Canada Games Foundation Inc. gave out $124,000 in grants this spring to 28 sports groups with 29% of them going to rural Saskatchewan. Incoming President Shirley Kowalski, says that “as much as we appreciate the interest from sports organizations centred in Saskatoon and Regina, we also love to see applications from smaller groups in grass roots rural and small city areas, especially now since we have an online application process”. Applications are due November 30 of each year.

1989 Jeux Canada Games Foundation goes online for applications

The 1989 Jeux Canada Games Foundation Inc. has developed an online application process for incorporated sports organizations in the province interested in applying for a grant from the Foundation. Applications are due November 30 of each year.

"While there is probably still some tweaking to do" Tom Kennedy, Executive Director of the Foundation says "we are ready to move to a more, web friendly, online process".

President for the Foundation this year, Albert Lavoie, added "we polled some of our sports groups last year and found out they were already applying for other support using online means and that if the Foundation went this route, they would be supportive and interested."

While groups can still apply this year in writing, those choosing to go digital should visit www.funding.sasksport.sk.ca/jeuxcanada/Login.aspx to make their application online by November 30. A password is required to begin the process so those interested should contact Jayant when ready to apply. If you have already applied in writing this year, there is no need to duplicate your application online.
