Grant Recipients

Westlock County acknowledges the outstanding contributions of our community members and organizations that help make our community such an amazing place.

These are the recipients of the 2010 Project and Capital Grant awards.

Shayne Hay Memorial Courts  -  P.A.C.O.
The Shayne Hay Memorial Courts (beach volleyball) was proposed when a local family lost a young man who had a passion for this sport.  Friends and family donated some money to P.A.C.O. in the hopes that 2 courts could be built for many to enjoy.  Fawcett made note in their request that this project is one of the strategies to achieve Goal 4, Keep Fawcett Active and Energized, of their Municipal Sustainable Plan.

Fawcett Town Square, Phase 1 -  P.A.C.O
The Fawcett Community has recognized the need for an outdoor sitting/picnic area.  Creating this social area will not only add curb appeal to Fawcett, the community feels it will allow visitors and residents to use this location as a picnic area when buying lunch from the local store.  This project is one of the strategies to achieve Goal 2, Make Fawcett An Attractive Community, of their Municipal Sustainable Plan.

Busby Gymkhana Riding Enclosure
Busby’s Gymkhana Riding Enclosure has reached the end of its functional lifespan.  By replacing the enclosure, the Gymkhana club will be able to continue offering the youth of Busby and area an opportunity to learn valuable life skills through active involvement in the club.  The club will also take this opportunity to work with the Busby Community League to reconfigure the Fair Grounds to improve the functionality and safety at large community events.

Fencing Busby Fair Grounds
The first phase of the Busby Community Municipal Sustainable Plan includes the fencing of the Fair Grounds.  This important first step will limit access to this area and allow for future improvements.  The construction of this fence will better define this space and better secure the area from vandalism and unauthorized access.
