LEADERSHIP TRAINING FUND
1.0 PURPOSE
The Municipality of Chester strives to build a healthy community and one way to work
towards that goal is by increasing the number of trained and skilled leaders. An increase
in skilled leadership translates into an increase in quality sport and recreation programs
and activities in the community.
The purpose of the Leadership Training Fund is to financially support individuals or
community groups to develop their leadership skills in the areas of physical activity,
sport, recreation, volunteerism, and leadership.
2.0 CRITERIA
2.1 The applicant must be a resident of the Municipality of Chester.
2.2 The applicant must be willing to use the skills learned with the citizens of the
Municipality of Chester either as a volunteer or a paid position.
2.3 The applicant is asked to submit a completed Leadership Training Fund
Application prior to attending the training session.
2.4 The applicant can either be an individual or a community group.
2.5 Eligible training may include courses, workshops, or seminars that will
develop skills and knowledge for coaches, instructors, leaders, and volunteers.
3.0 FUNDING
Support will be distributed as widely as possible among the applicants throughout the
year. Leadership Funding may cover up to 50% of the total registration cost of the
training. The cheque for successful applications must be made payable to an

applied to the amount of funding granted to one applicant.

funding available.
