Sunrise Therapeutic Riding & Learning Centre Wins Grant for Arena Construction

Sunrise Therapeutic Riding and Learning Centre is delighted to announce
that they have received an Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) Capital grant in the amount of
$138,300.

This funding is to be used for extensive renovations to the Sunrise indoor riding arena.
Renovations consist of a new ridge cap on the roof, a lowered and fully insulated ceiling, which will
raise the temperature of the riding space in the winter, and control the summer temperature for
comfortable activities.

This will result in greater accessibility for all riding students with special needs, some of whom with
physical disabilities have had to discontinue their therapeutic riding sessions at this time of the year, due to the winter temperatures.

The grant will also provide automatic doors and windows on the indoor riding arena, for ease of
operation and appropriate ventilation in summertime.

Board members, staff, volunteers, children and adults with special needs and their parents,
acknowledge and appreciate the positive impact this grant will have for the ongoing Sunrise
programming.
