Funding : Save the Canso - Update
Welcome to the Canso Blog! 

The restoration is moving along very well and we want to keep everyone updated through this page.  Things may get a little slow from time to time (it's sort of like watching paint dry) but please keep checking back.

Feel free to add your comments - we look forward to your feedback.

Funding

by Doug Roy on 04/22/10

Our operating wing of the project, Fairview Aircraft Restoration Society, applied for funding in late December, 2009 under the Community Initiatives Program (CIP), a Project-Based Grant.  This program is funded by the Government of Alberta through the Alberta Lottery Fund in order to build strong communities and enhance the quality of life for Albertans.  We haven't heard whether our application has been approved but we were assured that we would receive a letter in the next 2 or 3 weeks.  We had applied for $75,000 for this 2nd phase of the project and at the time we told that it was a good project for their consideration.  We are all hoping the news is positive as it will make the world of difference on the viability of the restoration.  We will keep you posted
