What kinds of projects are eligible for funding?

Projects eligible for funding through RInC will fall within the following categories of recreational infrastructure:

  • Arenas
  • Swimming pools
  • Gymnasiums
  • Sports fields
  • Parks, fitness trails and bike paths
  • Tennis, basketball, volleyball or other sport-specific courts
  • Other multi-purpose facilities that have physical recreation activity as the primary rationale

Eligible projects must also:

  • be construction ready and materially conclude construction before March 31, 2011;
  • lever additional resources, e.g. 2/3 funding from sources other than RInC; and,
  • be incremental (i.e. the project would not have occurred as proposed without support from the program).
