BEAVER COUNTY SUPPORTS KINSELLA COMMUNITY CENTRE ROOF REPLACEMENT USING FUNDS FROM CLEAN HARBORS ENHANCEMENT GRANT
Beaver County, Alta. – Beaver County Council supports a much-needed roof replacement for the Kinsella Community Centre, by approving funding of up to $265,000.
The project is being funded through the Clean Harbors Community Enhancement Grant, which is calculated quarterly based on the volume of waste received at the Ryley facility. The grant provides Beaver County with dedicated funds to support projects that enhance recreation, leisure, and community programs across the County.
“Having this new roof provides us more opportunity to offer a good, clean, and affordable space for people in the area to rent for functions. Heartfelt gratitude from Kinsella Rec & Ag and the community, for Clean Harbors and Beaver County Council’s assistance on this project.” said Peter Albert, President of the Kinsella Agricultural & Recreation Society.
The total cost of the roof project was estimated at $251,000 plus GST. With the Kinsella Recreation and Agricultural Society eligible for a 50% GST rebate, the County’s total contribution is expected to be $257,275, pending final invoicing.
“The Kinsella Community Centre is more than just a building—it’s where the community comes together,” says Beaver County Reeve Kevin Smook, “Investing in its upkeep helps preserve that connection for years to come. We’re proud to support this project and grateful to Clean Harbors for making it possible.”
Construction was completed in September 2025. This investment reflects Beaver County’s Strategic Plan commitment to building strong rural communities by supporting infrastructure that connects residents and strengthens community life.
