The funds will be used to enhance the student experience through extracurricular activities. These grants cover various costs, including sporting equipment, musical instruments, playground equipment and field trips.
Local PACs receive $20 per student, while DPACs receive a flat rate of $2,500. The grant funds must remain under the management and control of those that receive them. Funds cannot be used for, or transferred to, curricular purposes or to schools or school districts or their activities or programs.
At our upcoming DPAC conference, we will be having a session from Gaming on how to manage these funds, as well as a presentation about responsible gaming.
If your PAC did not receive funding – your PAC does need to apply for this funding – we encourage you to get in touch with the Gaming branch to see if anything can be done. The people at Gaming are great to work with.
