Donations
Do you want to make a contribution? You can leave your mark and a legacy to the community by contributing to the construction and ongoing operation of the new facility.
The new $14.56 million King Recreation Complex is being funded through the federal – provincial stimulus fund. The fund provides for an equal sharing of the cost; such that, the federal Government is contributing $4.720 million, the Province $4.720 million and the Township $4.720 million. The King Community, in turn, has committed to raise $400,000 towards the cost.
Bricks and naming rights are being sold; whereby, individuals can donate directly to the new building fund, and be recognized, in perpetuity, as a contributor. A donation wall, recognizing these contributions, will be suitably located in the public area within the new facility, and charitable donation receipts are provided. Naming rights for rooms and spaces may also be purchased in perpetuity.
The curlers and other user groups are sponsoring fundraising events such as dances and golf tournaments. Curlers, hockey players, figure skaters and other community users are encouraged to support fundraising, in recognition of past and present uses of existing township recreational facilities, and in anticipation of future uses of the new facility.
See the summary below for more information on making a contribution, or visit the Township of King website at www.king.ca for more information. To donate or participate in the fundraising campaign please contact Laura Campbell, (905)833-5321 or [email protected].
