Elliot Lake Retirement Living is accepting applications for 2023 community grants.
The intent of the program is to invest in activities, projects and individuals that help to make Elliot Lake a place that people want to live, retire and invest in, a news release says.
Last year, the ELRL grants provided nearly $40,000 of support to many different groups and organizations that covered a wide range of interests and/or needs for the community. Those projects included:
- Danceworks, for a portable roll down professional floor for the stage at Collins Hall
- Coureurs de Bois for tools and supplies to enhance the trails
- Elliot Lake Snowbirds Snowmobile Club for a furnace for their garage and supplies for a warming shack
- Elliot Lake Aquatics Club for a new starter for their races
- Wednesday Afternoon Guitarists for a new cabinet for storage of their sound equipment
- Elliot Lake Youth Slo-Pitch for new baseball bats for the players
- Elliot Lake Woodcarvers for tools and dust collectors for club
- Renaissance Active Living Centre for a chairlift for access to the building
