Gaming Special Intake Grant
Gaming has received very few applications so far for the special intake recently announced by government.
Just wanting to personally make sure that your sport is aware of this opportunity. Applications are due February 13, 2012.

There is a significant amount of money that could get lost to sport if there is no uptake. So if you or your community clubs offer adult programming, please consider putting an application in as soon as possible - if you are eligible. And please get the word out to any eligible membership clubs.  http://sportbc.com/files/info-special-intake-grants-2011-121.pdf
