Andrew Barr has announced the winners of the 2013 Sport and Recreation Grants.
Today I joined 69 sporting organisations who will share more than $2.3 million through the 2013 Sport and Recreation Grant Program (SRGP).
The ACT Government recognises the importance of investment in sport and recreation in our community. The grants help organisations to increase participation and become more professional in their delivery of sport and physical activity opportunities for Canberrans. And it will help ensure Canberra remains the healthiest and most active community in the country.

— $13,900 to Basketball ACT for stadium scoring/officiating system;
