Recreation Boards

Under the Recreation and Culture Funding policy, the County of Northern Lights provides funds directly to two (2) Recreation Boards to disburse funds to groups operating within the County and the support communities of Grimshaw, Manning, and Peace River. Recreation Boards distribute funds using an application process. 

Community groups may apply for expenses up to $10,00.00. Eligible expenses would include program and event funding and related advertising and capital assistance.
