SPORT/RECREATION--NON-PROFIT SPORT AND RECREATION ORGANIZATIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------- Sport and Recreation Minister Jay Abbass has announced additional assistance of $145,000 for non-profit sport and recreation organizations in Nova Scotia. The annual funding will be administered by Sport Nova Scotia, the provincial sport federation. The additional funding has been put in place to help develop management information systems and to enhance the ability of the provincial organizations to work with local communities. "We want to increase the numbers of Nova Scotians participating in sport by helping the provincial sport and recreation organization offices to be more effective," said Mr. Abbass. A portion of the funding is designated for the development of a fund-raising program that will enable sport to become more financially self-sufficient. -30- Contact: Bill White 902-424-7554 trp July 08, 1996 - 2:40 p.m.
