Seniors Community Program Grant will start taking applications in September. To help clubs prepare, you can look at the only two successful applications from 2017 - James Gardens using Stream 2 (projects $3000 to $12,000) and St George using Stream 1 (projects $3000 or less). The big thing that they let you apply for is ADVERTISING but also for meals, training travel, computer equipment including printers and some sports equipment.
Read the guidelines, look at the two applications and start thinking about what you want to apply for. When applications formally open, I will start pushing hard to help you apply to get this critical grant money.

All OLBA Coaches
If you are an Ontario Club or Competitive Coach, and do not know your coach number, then please follow these instructions:
Go to www.coach.ca
Click on The Locker. Click on look up my NCCP #. Then click that you have forgot your password. Then put in your valid email.
If this does not work, click that you don't remember your email. Then give your first name, last name, and birth date. You should then be able to receive your password and manage your account within the Locker.
However, if you have changed your email, and not changed it within the Locker or have the same email as your spouse, then you may need to contact Jan Bauer. Jan is more than willing to assist you in getting the information you need. If you have not given your birth date, then you are not registered in the Locker and will not have a coach number.
