Volunteers and community groups are the lifeblood of any small town. In Kirkland Lake, we want them to succeed because everything they do contributes to the quality of life of all residents. To this end, Town Council offers a Community Grant program that such groups can access to help them put on events and activities. Applications are received twice a year, and grants usually do not exceed $5000.
