The Sutton Curling club has installed new safety equipment, including tap payment devices, automatic door sensors, hand dryers and contactless plumbing fixtures thanks to a recent grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF).
The club received the $22,500 grant through the OTF Resilient Communities Fund, which was established to help non-profit groups rebuild and recover from the impacts of COVID-19.
“The Sutton Curling Club has been a recreational mainstay in the community over the years,” said Caroline Mulroney, MPP for York-Simcoe.
“The $22,500 Resilient Communities Fund grant they received from the Ontario Trillium Foundation earlier this year will enable the Club to rebuild from the impacts of COVID-19 by helping to purchase new safety equipment and implement protocols so that players can return to the sport they love.”
According to Tom Jones, President of the Sutton Curling Club, the recent upgrades together with other improvements made possible by OTF in recent years will ensure that the club continues to operate for many years to come.
“The impact of Ontario Trillium Foundation grants on the Sutton Curling Club over the past three years is significant,” Jones said
“The most recent grant allowed necessary renovations to be completed to ensure our curlers are in a safe environment. We now have a curling arena in our community that can better serve our current membership as well as attracting new members of all ages.”
