March 2025 HGRC Update

The Hall and Grounds Renewal Committee is very pleased to announce that we have secured the full funding for our community project!

In February, we received word that we have been awarded the provincial Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP) grant for $848,000. This, coupled with the municipal Community League Infrastructure Program (CLIP) grant for $425,000 and the League’s reserves of $385,000 as well as contributions from Strathcona Nursery School, the League has secured a budget of almost $1.7 million dollars for our Renewal Project.

We are grateful to the Province of Alberta (and Minister Turton for presenting us with the big cheque!), the City of Edmonton and all the volunteers who have worked to support this project.

Next steps:
With funding in place, the committee is working hard to finalize the concept drawings for the interior ground floor renovation. We will then move forward with engineered drawings, City permits and approvals and selecting contractors. At this time, we are tentatively expecting construction to commence in late 2025.

If you have any questions about this project or would like to be considered as a contractor, please email info@strathconacommunity.ca.
