Jump Canada Announces Distribution of 2012 Venue Development Funds
Ottawa, ON - Jump Canada is pleased to announce the distribution of Venue Development Funds to nine com- petitions across the country.

Since 2004, competitions have been invited to sub- mit applications and receipts of work completed during the current year to the Venue Development Fund. The money is divided among the applications that the com- mittee feels will have the most positive impact on com- petition improvement and the competitors’ showing experience.
Some examples of funded programs are the pur- chase of jumps and safety cups, development of natural obstacles like a bank or grob, enhancements to competi- tion facilities and the purchase of equipment such as a ring conditioner. Facility improvements to footing and stabling on competition grounds are also considered.
