Recreation Grant
Flagstaff County has partnered with neighbouring urban municipalities to offer recreation funding as an essential means for enhancing individual well-being, community vitality and economic sustainability.
At the beginning of each year, recreation funding is distributed to the 10 Agricultural Societies within the region including the Sedgewick and District Ag Society. These funds are distributed through the Recreation Funding Committee to deserving recreation and culture groups for operational or capital projects. In 2021 the Sedgewick Ag Society received $104,412 from the County.
