WOW!!
🎉 EXCITING NEWS FOR NORTHERN EDGE SPORT ASSOCIATION! 🎉
We are thrilled to announce that at the September 10, 2026, Board Meeting, the Regional District of Bulkley Nechako approved $250,000 in Community Works Fund funding through the Town of Smithers to support the Northern Edge Sport Association Phase Three Facility Expansion Project!
🔨 This significant investment will go directly toward construction costs for our planned expansion, helping us move one step closer to creating a larger, more accessible, and inclusive recreation facility for the Bulkley Valley.
The Community Works Fund is made available to local governments through the Government of Canada, supporting infrastructure projects that build stronger, healthier, and more sustainable communities.
👏 A heartfelt thank you to Director Stoney Stoltenberg and the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako staff for their ongoing support and commitment to this project. Thank you to the Town of Smithers staff and council for submitting this application. We sincerely appreciate your continued collaboration and recognition of the importance of investing in accessible, year-round recreation opportunities for residents of the Bulkley Valley.
As a nonprofit organization, we are incredibly grateful for investments that help us continue building recreation opportunities for generations to come.
Together, we're building more than a facility — we're building opportunities for our community to grow, move, and thrive! 💙
