ONTARIO TRILLIUM FUND GRANT PROJECT 2022
THE WALLACETOWN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNISE THE ONTARIO TRILLIUM FUND
The proceeds of this grant were used to upgrade our Commercial and Cattle Barn Building Washrooms to make our sinks wheelchair accessible, new automatic soap and towel dispensers, touchless taps and touch free urinals.
Wheelchair accessible portable ramps were also purchased to allow safe entry into all of our buildings. Covid protocols were enhanced by adding Touchless hand sanitation units in the buildings.

“This project is funded by the Government of Canada through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario.”
The Wallacetown Agricultural Society was awarded a $75,000 grant by the Resilient Communities Ontario Fund though FedDev Ontario. We used this grant to change all our lighting to LED in every building on the property, add lighting to our grandstand and some of our outdoor areas. We also added an accessible/ gender neutral washroom in our commercial building to bring all our washrooms now up to accessibility codes. We would like to thank our Tourism Relief Project Co-Ordinator Emma Rowley for her support during the process and the Government of Canada for seeing this project to completion. We can’t wait to invite you to the new and improved Wallacetown Fair buildings. See you in September.
