$15,000 grant for playground equipment
CREDITON Huron -Bruce MPP
Carol Mitchell attended a ceremony
last Thursday to mark the new play-
ground equipment at the Crediton
baseball diamonds,
made possible in part
from a $15,000 grant
from the Ontario Trilli-
um Foundation (OTF).
Joining Mitchell were
OTF representative Joe
Hogan and South Huron municipal
staff.
"This is a wonderful investment for
the residents of the community of
Crediton," Mitchell said. "Making in-
vestments in communities that allow
children to stay active and safe will be
beneficial for children in the area for
years to come."
In June, the OTF provided funding
to replace the playground equipment
in Crediton and help ensure a safe ac-
tivity space for the community.
"Thanks to the OTF s contribution,
new playground equipment for the
Crediton community
will be enjoyed by youth
in South Huron, provid-
ing a healthy and safe
atmosphere for all to
enjoy," Mayor Ken Oke
said.
South Huron community services
manager Jo -Anne Fields said the
Crediton Mudcats slo-pitch team
identified a need for new playground
equipment and made a donation, af-
ter which an application for a Trillium
grant was made.
The new equipment was installed in
September.
Hogan said the grant request was
easy to say yes to.

tion grant of $15,000 to
