Community Grants

Westlock County Council recognizes the contribution residents make to their community by delivering a service, recreation or leisure activity through local Community Centers within Westlock County.  It is the intention of Westlock County to support these volunteer agencies and local service groups that support community growth, through construction, upgrades or re-development enhancing the lifespan of public use facilities through this grant funding policy. The following will guide and govern decisions made by the County about how funds within its control are used to invest in our community each financial year.
