Media Release – October 2022

The Ventures would like to announce that we have received a Resilient Community Fund grant offered through the Ontario Trillium Foundation, funded by the Government of Ontario. This fund supports the recovery efforts of organizations impacted by COVID-19 and helps them respond with immediate, medium, and longer-term recovery projects. The Ventures is looking forward to utilize this support to continue our Sport of the Art programming for youth in the Kitchener-Waterloo region.

The Ventures has received $41,900 to aid in the next 12-months to improve brand awareness, recruitment efforts, re-engaging community and delivery of our unique and established program to children and youth.

"The impact of this Ontario Trillium Foundation-Resilient Communities Fund grant has allowed our small but mighty organization to continue our long-standing legacy in the region. We are thrilled to have community supports such as this grant, that allow us to continue and increase access to our affordable and inclusive program that is not only entertaining to witness, but memorable to be a part of. We are looking forward to welcoming back veteran members and excited to offer our one-of-a-kind program to new faces." – Natasha Gonzalez, Ventures Alumni and Board Member
