4 Trillium grant benefits Acton Money for curling club and church A new brine system for an Acton curling club, and an elevator at an Acton church are two local projects made possible through Ontario Trillium Foundation grants. On Saturday, Trillium officials and Wellington-Halton Hills MPP Ted Arnott were on hand to present a cheque for $18,900 to Acton Curling Club officials to replace the brine header, including the coils to move the brine coolant under the ice. "The old system is 42 years old and it is deteriorating and costing us more and more to maintain and fix it," Club president Madelene Reed said on Friday. She said the new system is being constructed locally by Mertec Manufacturing, for installation over the summer. Reed said the Club used a $70,000 Trillium grant it received five years to replace the ice-making plant. The Club, which closed for the season on Saturday, had 296 members this year, up slightly from the year before, with many new members of all ages attracted by the Learn to Curl program. Acton's St. Alban the Martyr Anglican Church will receive a $150,000 Trillium grant to install an elevator to make its downstairs hall and kitchen accessible. "This (elevator) will enhance our ability to provide services to the community, like the Food for Life program and our community dinners," said the Reverend Brian Galligan on Friday, adding they want to provide more community meeting space. He said the grant will also pay for an accessible washroom, ramps and a wheelchair access to the outside, but they may need to raise an additional $30,000 to complete the project, which will begin once they get a building permit. The latest list of Trillium grant re cipients included $4.5-million to 31 community groups and organizations in Halton-Peel, including $217,500 to the Williams Mill Visual Arts Centre in Glen Williams.
