There are two grant opportunities available for individuals or organizations to help activate and engage people in Red Deer to be physically active:

$500 Physical Activity Individual Grant

• This grant is open to individuals living in Red Deer. The grant can be used to engage a group of individuals in Red Deer to be physically active through an activity, event, program etc.
