$17,000 Available for Seniors Sports

Oxford County's seniors may have some new ways to get active later this year. New funding is available through the Oxford Community Foundation in support of senior amateur sports. The OCF has been given the task of administering the money, which became available through a special fund from the 2001 Summer Games hosted by London and surrounding areas. OCF Executive Director Keith Hudson says there is 17-thousand dollars up for grabs this year. "There's just a lot of amateur sports out there. And they (OCF Board) just felt one of the priority groups the community is looking at right now with the Master Aging Plan, is those that are seniors. Therefore, this year, the board decided they would grant the money towards senior amateur sports." Details on how to apply for the funding can be found here.
