"A re-elected UCP government will create the Community Recreation Centre Infrastructure Fund will ensure growing communities have the facilities they need to stay healthy and have strong youth sports opportunities. This $80 million investment over four years would especially help get mid-sized recreation facilities into rapidly growing communities sooner." — unitedconservative.ca, retrieved 2023-05-25

NDP
  • Create a new programme, increase grant funding, and provide a new $100M annual capital investment funding stream, to build and improve local community facilities

    "Rachel Notley and the Alberta NDP are announcing a new program called “Hometown Alberta” to build and improve local community facilities, like hockey rinks, in every corner of the province." — albertandp.ca, retrieved 2023-05-22

    "Our Hometown Alberta program will create 1,500 jobs over three years and build stronger communities by supporting municipalities and non-profits to build, repair, renovate, upgrade or expand local community facilities, including sports, recreational, religious, cultural and other public-use spaces.

    Hometown Alberta would help build or improve community halls, legion halls, non-profit spaces, seniors centres, recreation centres, museum, art and culture centres, playgrounds, or places of worship.

    Building off the current Community Facility Enhancement Program, we would increase grant funding available and add a new $100-million annual capital investment funding stream, so communities can build new spaces to gather at and enjoy!" — albertandp.ca, retrieved 2023-05-22
