Branch Inclusive Recreation Initiative:

The SACL is committed to developing inclusive recreation and leisure programs. This funding will support existing programs and/or the development of new ventures with a view to creating inclusive options. This support encourages development at a level where real change will occur for individuals and where community members may experience first hand the benefits of inclusive programs. Projects may be awarded per year to a maximum of $2,000 each. Proposals will be accepted once per year and successful applicants will be notified by April 30th. Proposals must be submitted/or endorsed by a branch of the SACL. A final report is required within four weeks at the end of the project. Projects must target individuals with disabilities and/or their families and must:

- Provide inclusive options focusing on accessing generic community-based recreation and leisure services

- Promote partnerships with other local agencies and programs

- Provide transferable models for other communities

- Provide for a local media announcement to create awareness in your community.

This grant is made possible through to the SACL from the Saskatchewan Lotteries.

Putting Life into the Community Projects:

Funds are made available to branches of the SACL to support community projects that are endorsed and supported by a branch for the purposes of inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities and their families.
