Grants to Brockville Country Club Announced

A goal of the BCC is to upgrade the "Granite Room" with air conditioning and acoustical treatment so that large banqets and shows can be hosted throughout the summer months in a proper environment. Today's announcement puts the BCC closer to that goal!!
The BCC is pleased to announce that a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) in the amount of $75,000 and a second grant for $25,000 from the Government of Canada Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP) has been awarded to the BCC.Making the announcement at a ceremony held at the BCC Tuesday morning (Dec 21st) were Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown and local MPP Steve Clark. Joining Gord and Steve in the photo were (from Left) Tom Russell; Executive Director of the 1000 Islands CDC; Valerie Deakin, OTF representative; Gord; Steve; Bob Larocque, BCC President and Jack Kenny, BCC Board Secretary. The local media were well represented at the announcement which should result in coverage in Wednesday's newspapers. With this announcement, the potential for a much improved Granite Room for functions this coming summer moves a step closer.
