Ottawa Short Mat receives Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant
The Ottawa Short Mat Club has received a capital grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF). The club is growing and the grant will enable the club to acquire an additional mat and several sets of club bowls. This will allow the club to increase membership and expand its reach to those who would like to try the sport of bowls but do not have the resources to acquire their own bowls.
The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) is an agency of the Government of Ontario, and one of Canada’s leading granting foundations. OTF cares about healthy and vibrant communities and creates significant opportunities for positive community change.
