Not sure if there are strings attached to this funding or not. I suppose that will eventually come to light. 

AMEN

Don't disagree at all. My personal take from it is that they are quietly saying out loud that this flow of cash might be it for a while?

The Provincial and Federal Govs need to figure their own sh!t out, that statement coming from a politician is almost like a homeless guy telling me how I could better mop my kitchen floor while I toss a tooney in his gold plated cup.  lmao      Sleddings main ingredient is uncontrollable weather, the other ingredients, landowners, volunteers and permit buyers all need the economy to be healthy and legislation to be realistic to comfortably participate. Don't get me wrong, I certainly appreciate the $$ injection, that in the end helps everyone more than it helps sledders. But don't throw stones when your house has bigger windows.  

Positives absolutely. Timing is probably the only real drawback - but late is better than never!   Biggest thing now -like I have said before - will be curious to see what the "plan" is - because status quo will not work - funding top ups are not guaranteed - so where do we go from here?
