A new lawn bowling green for Winskill Park and renovations to the KinVillage Community Centre in Tsawwassen will be made possible thanks to federal government funding.
Last week, Delta MP Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Sport and Physical Activity, announced $885,000 in PacifiCan funding through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF) for two public space projects in Delta.
The City of Delta is receiving $750,000 to build a new lawn bowling green at Winskill Park. Project work includes removing the old green and installing a new one, landscaping, and adding lighting and fixtures.
The KinVillage Association is receiving $135,000 to renovate the common areas of the KinVillage Community Centre. Project work includes upgrading the activity room, installing automatic doors, repairing walkways, and adding a patio space.
“This announcement means more vibrant spaces for Delta residents to enjoy,” said Qualtrough. “Both Winskill Park and KinVillage Community Centre will improve accessible spaces. Guests will soon be able to enjoy the upgraded amenities and build on the great sense of community in our neighborhoods. I look forward to Delta residents making use of these newly revitalized spaces.”
Delta Mayor George Harvie added, “I am thrilled to see this funding from the federal government which helped us create Winskill Park’s new lawn bowling green and fieldhouse. With the support of PacifiCan’s Canada Community Revitalization Fund, the City of Delta and the KinVillage Association are creating recreation opportunities for our community to thrive. These projects align perfectly with our commitment to creating spaces that foster recreation, social connection, and promote a healthy lifestyle.”
PacifiCan is the federal economic development agency dedicated to British Columbians. PacifiCan works with partners who are building innovative businesses, creating quality jobs, and supporting inclusive growth throughout British Columbia.
The CCRF program launched in the summer of 2021. The program has provided $500 million over two years to Canada’s regional development agencies to invest in projects that build and improve community infrastructure, making public spaces safer, greener and more accessible.
