Funding available for non-profit organizations in Rocky View County

Rocky View County (RVC) is currently accepting applications for its Community Recreation Funding Grant.

This grant offers funding to assist non-profit community organizations providing recreational services to county residents.

According to RVC, the funding can be used for general operating funding and capital costs:

• Operational Funding
  • The ongoing costs of running a facility or program, such as program costs and utilities.
• Capital Funding
  • Includes expenditures creating future benefits or a fixed asset such as a trailer, building, furnace, or roof; including both interior and exterior upgrades to buildings and land.

The deadline for applications to receive operational funding is October 1.

Last week, the Rocky View County council rejected a proposed area structure plan for a data centre campus, citing concerns about the proposed location and its potential impact on local agricultural producers.

Council did not approve the Kineticor Area Structure Plan, Bylaw C-8671-2025, to facilitate the development of a Data Centre Campus with accompanying stormwater management facilities, the county said in a summary of council decisions posted online.

The county said council also did not approve Bylaw C-8672-2025, which sought to redesignate land from Agriculture – General to primarily Special, Data Centre District Overlay B (SDAT-B), with portions to be redesignated to Special, Public Service (S-PUB) and Special, Parks and Recreation (S-PRK) districts.
