The Town of The Pas is seeking more than 1.6 million dollars in provincial funding to help upgrade Centennial Park and nearby recreation facilities.

Council is supporting an application to the Build Communities Strong Fund – Direct Delivery Stream for a project valued at just over 3.2 million dollars. The proposed improvements would enhance accessibility, expand recreation programming, and improve the overall user experience while supporting community health and wellness.

The Town has already secured a 1.375 million dollar Guaranteed Recreation Opportunities Grant. If the latest application is approved, outside funding would cover nearly 93 percent of the project's cost, leaving the Town responsible for about 233 thousand dollars.

Administration is recommending council move forward with the grant application and commit to the Town's share if funding is approved.
