Thank you to Twelve Mile Coulee School families for your continued support of this program. We were able to donate 89 high quality coats as well as many snowpants, hats and mittens. They will be cleaned and redistributed to families in need.

Thank you to everyone who came out to help last month.

Outdoor Fitness Committee
1. To date we have raised approximately $83,000 cash and in kind donations and hope to build in September 2015. Our project budget is just under $340,000. We have recently reapplied for about 20 grants, continue to look for more and have reconnected community homebuilders, who will consider donating. We need community support to make this project a success. If you care to make a donation, Parks Foundation Calgary will issue tax receipts with donations over $25. Please contact Pam Mylrea at TMCOutdoorFitnessCommittee@gmail.com for more information.
Our sincere thanks to Cardel Renovations for their generous donation of $5000 to the TMC Outdoor Fitness Area
2. The decision for Tuscany Community Association’s application for the Amateur Sport Grant through the Parks Foundation Calgary has been tabled until mid-late November, at which time they will determine if we are successful. We received 7 Letters of Support from Amateur Sport organizations, which they were seeking. This grant has a potential of $125,000 for this project.
3. We endeavor to apply for the Alberta Government CFEP grant for the December 15 deadline, as it will take 6 – 9 months to process and provide funding. This will depend on our success with the Amateur Sport Grant application and may require revisiting the design, doing the project in stages, or delaying the build until Spring 2016. Hon. Sandra Jansen is aware of our fundraising progress, has asked that I keep her updated, and has written a letter of support for our next CFEP application to the Minister of Culture, Hon Heather Klimchuk.
4. Crowfoot COBS Bread doughraiser raised $200 for the 2013 – 2014 school year, and will continue to donate 5% of any purchase to this project when you mention Twelve Mile Coulee School fundraiser at the time of your purchase.

8. Tuscany School parents at their June council meeting voted to determine in the fall whether to donate a portion of their May Casino funds to the TMC Outdoor Fitness Area. The maximum amount they are able to donate is $10, 000. This decision has been delayed as there is a new principal and processes need to be sorted out.
