Through the Capital Investment Program, the Town approved $40,000 for two projects that will expand recreation opportunities and support active living in the community. Together, these grants will help leverage more than $500,000 in community-led investment in recreation infrastructure, active living, and sport tourism. 

The Gander Community Tennis Association received $20,000 toward the development of a covered court facility. The project will help extend the tennis season and create more opportunities for tennis and pickleball programming. 

The YQX Running Club received $20,000 to support the expansion of its Run From Away race platform. The funding will help build capacity for community events, active living initiatives, and sport tourism opportunities. 

The Community Partnership Fund is an annual program that helps local organizations deliver programs, services, and projects. The Town thanks the volunteers and community leaders whose work strengthens Gander and supports a more connected community.
