Six non-profit organizations in MPP Brian Saunderson’s riding of Simcoe-Grey are receiving a total of $503,600 in funding through the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s (OTF) Capital grant stream to make it easier for local residents to access the critical programming, activities and spaces that make Simcoe-Grey a great place to live, work and play.
Royal Canadian Legion, Creemore, Ontario Branch 397 will use a $177,200 Capital grant over 12 months to renovate and upgrade the commercial kitchen to better serve aging community members who are dependent on community facilities.
The Creemore Community Foundation will use a $15,200 Capital grant over six months to purchase a professional audio-visual system for their outdoor space to enhance, diversify and increase frequency of year-round arts and culture programming in Creemore.
Other recipients in the riding include Camphill Communities, Community Living Association for South Simcoe, Theatre Collingwood, and Wasaga Community Theatre. “Our government believes organizations like these enrich the lives of people in our region and play an important role in building a strong and prosperous economy in Ontario. That’s why I am proud that they are receiving capital funding support,” said Saunderson in a press release. “Organizations such as these are all pillars of our community. This support will enable them to better serve the people of Simcoe-Grey and continue to make a positive difference.”
OTF’s Capital grant stream helps organizations improve their infrastructure so they can continue delivering programs and services that Ontarians need to thrive.

Capital grants are part of the more than $28 million supporting 291 local programs and services that help deliver critical community programming across the province.
