The Elora Fergus Ringette Association recently received a $2,000 grant from the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity (CAAWS).
The local association was one of 10 organizations to be selected from across the province to receive the On the Move Incentive Grant funding
On the Move is a national initiative designed to increase opportunities for inactive girls and young women, from the ages of 9 to 18, to participate and lead in sport and physical activity.
The Elora Fergus Ringette Association will use the funds to host a free introduction to ringette session, provide subsidized learning sessions for new participants, and will subsidize a portion of the registration fees for girls new to the sport.
The association will also offer a ringette day in Fergus at the Centre Wellington Community Sportsplex on Sept. 8 beginning at 4:30pm.
