Sylvan council approves Community Spirit Capital Grant applications

Sylvan Lake Municipal Library received $8,000 for its food bank garden project which aims to purchase materials and build several raised garden beds at the Sylvan Lake Municipal Library and the Sylvan Lake Food Bank.

The Sylvan Lake Lacrosse Association requested and received $6,000 to help provide its teams with proper goalie equipment.

The Yetti Lacrosse Association, however, did not have their $11,109 grant application approved for gloves and helmets to players, as well as purchase a smaller set of goalie gear and sticks for goalies.

Elsewhere, Sylvan’s Performing Arts and Rhythmic Centre (SPARC) Parent Association received half of its $10,000 request for its cargo trailer and studio equipment project.

The Sylvan Lake Chamber of Commerce received its full $4,000 request to run the glowing skate area and winter village during Light-Up the Lake. Town officials say the community event helps increase tourism and attract new business while stimulating people to come out in the colder months. The money is anticipated to help fund the lights which will go under the skating rinks on the lake.

The Central Alberta Disc Golf Association had its grant application of $3,612 approved for the Sylvan Lake Disc Golf Park which will see a permanent 18-hole disc golf course in the park area south and east of Cole Way installed.

Finally, Sylvan Lake Rec Hockey will receive $2,100 to replace two sets of jerseys that were purchased when the program started 10 years ago. Officials say there are approximately 40 jerseys to replace, with the organization also looking to purchase two sets of goalie equipment as well.
