Representatives of the provincial government announced on April 1 $100,000 in funding for improvements at Twin Elm Rugby Park in Richmond.
“The Twin Elm Rugby Park is a popular athletic hub in eastern Ontario, supporting many athletes, coaches, volunteers and visitors across a wide variety of sport disciplines,” said Ontario Minister of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Cultural Industries Lisa MacLeod. “Our government is investing in this premier facility and helping to fund critical infrastructure improvements that will support and stabilize park operations, while ensuring that spectators, teams and players can continue to safely enjoy all this venue has to offer.”
The investment from the provincial government will be used for repairs to the septic system, interior renovations, washrooms, new post pads, storage containers and field repairs.
Capital funding for this project will be administered through the Ontario Trillium Foundation – an agency of the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries that invests in community projects and partnerships.
“We look forward to implementing the required and recommended upgrades and ensuring the tradition of Twin Elm Rugby Park lives on,” said Robert Orange, the president of Twin Elm Rugby Park.
