PrairiesCan is administering the CCRF in Alberta. “Our government is continuing to make investments through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund that transform public infrastructure into modern gathering places for residents and visitors of all ages and abilities,” said the Honourable Daniel Vandal, Minister for PrairiesCan. “Our support for the Town of Devon’s Paragon Ballpark will help to create an inclusive and accessible community recreational space where everyone can gather, stay active, and play a friendly ballgame.” “Public recreation and sporting facilities in Alberta communities bring people together, attract visitors, and support local small businesses,” said the Honourable Randy Boissonnault, Minister of Tourism and Associate Minister of Finance. “Our collaboration with the Town of Devon on the Paragon Ballpark will provide opportunities for residents and visitors alike to enjoy the new ball diamonds in the heart of their community.” Paragon Ballpark is located just south of HWY 60 at 100 Aspenleaf Rd. The Town has upgraded both Miquelon Ave. and Aspenleaf Rd. to better accommodate those heading out to the diamonds. Learn more about Paragon Ballpark at devon.ca/paragonballpark. Share Print
