SASKATCHEWAN — For the third consecutive year, ADAMA Canada has taken applications from across the country for the company’s Stomping Grounds community investment initiative, and has announced the more than 20 recipients who will receive funding. Of the 22 community projects selected, 13 Saskatchewan communities have been chosen.
Projects in Saskatchewan that will receive funding from ADAMA Canada include:
- Building a new multi-functional facility, which will include a rink and walking track, in Langenburg;
- Bleachers and indoor seating to complete the new ice rink in Ituna;
- Replace and upgrade the refrigeration system with a more efficient and environmentally friendly ice plant in the La Palestre Arena in Gravelbourg;
- A new playground and surfacing for the children in Mankota;
- Personal protective equipment and anhydrous ammonia incident response training for the Wawota, Carnduff, Carlyle and Stoughton fire departments;
- Fencing around the Little Seedlings Daycare outdoor play area in Wilkie;
- A new ice plant, renovations and washroom facilities for neighbouring ball diamonds at the Kinistino Sports Complex in Kinistino;
- The recently opened Little Acres Learning Centre in Davidson;
- A new ice plant for the Goodsoil Arena in Goodsoil; and
- The opening of a new food bank in Eston.
The community projects selected will receive funding up to $10,000, seeing ADAMA Canada investing a total of $127,000 to this year’s recipients.
“Every application tells a story of hope, pride and possibility for the community it serves. What truly stands out isn’t just the impact of the investment – it’s the heart behind it. The passion, commitment and genuine care that people pour into their submissions is incredibly inspiring,” says Jodi Starodub, Marketing Lead at ADAMA Canada. Starodub also shared that there were close to 200 applications submitted.
Since launching the Stomping Grounds community initiative in 2023, the company has contributed more than $240,000 to over 40 community projects and over half a million dollars to community investment initiatives since 2018.
“A common thing we’ve heard is that many of the smaller communities across rural Canada feel left out or overlooked when it comes to outside funding for local programs and facilities,” says Starodub. “It brings everyone at ADAMA great joy to support these communities and the backbone of rural Canada – agriculture – through Stomping Grounds.”
