The program supports youth, education, public safety, health, community development and emergency services. Schools and community groups seeking help with a local project can apply.

Could a playground win this?

Possible fit Medium confidence

Playgrounds are not named, but the program supports schools, youth organizations and community development in MEC's service area, and nothing on the page rules out equipment or capital projects. A school or community group could ask for help with part of a playground, such as shade, surfacing or one play piece.

Every penny contributed is pooled together to support local organizations and initiatives focused on youth, education, public safety, health, community development, and emergency services.

Assist local community youth organizations and activities which promote good citizenship for strong, healthy communities
