Committee of the Whole discusses 2026 Grant in Aid Requests

Quick view

The Committee of the Whole met on June 10, 2026, to discuss the 2026 Grant in Aid Requests. Staff presented a list of applicants, including the Princeton Curling Club, Senior Citizens Branch 30, and the Princeton Cancer Support Group. Staff recommended approving the Princeton Kokanee Swim Club Society's request for coaching honorariums. However, staff recommended denying the requests from the Princeton Community Arts Council Society and the Princeton District Community Services Society, as they do not fit within the grant and aid program. Staff also recommended referring the requests from the Princeton Curling Club and Senior Citizens Branch 30 to public works for inclusion in the municipal buildings budget. Council discussed the policy for grant in aid, which states that no organization can receive more than three municipal grants in a four-year period. The policy also states that annual maximum grant allocation to an organization will be $10,000. Council noted that the Princeton Kokanee Swim Club Society has received funding every year for the past four years and may not be eligible for future funding. Council will develop a staff report to bring to council for approval. The report will include the recommendations from staff and any additional information or discussion from council.
