                         INDIVIDUALS
                         The following programs are available for individuals to access sport and
                         recreation programs if they are unable to afford the fees associated
                         with them.

                         Rossland Recreation Bursary Program
                         We are in the process of updating our bursary program to allow for individuals of any age to apply for assistance. The RRB
                         program allows for up to $100 per person per year with youth as the priority and adults having access to the program as long
                         as the balance in the account is maintained above $1000. If you or someone you know is able to donate to this fund, we are
                         accepting donations to try and ensure there are enough funds to cover as many people as possible.
