$25,000 New Floor Has Gymnasts Springing in the Air!

Smiths Falls – “Spring” arrived early for members of the Smiths Falls Gym Stars Gymnastics Club as they unveiled a new and improved spring floor, made possible by a $25,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.  Donna Davidson, the Chair of the Foundation’s local Grant Review Team and Jay Brennan, MPP Norm Sterling’s Constituency Assistant, presented the Club’s Amy Callan with a commemorative plaque.

“This is another example of how the Ontario Trillium Foundation contributes to our communities,” said Norm Sterling MPP for Lanark-Carleton. “I am especially pleased to see this grant awarded to a group that provides children the opportunity to participate in a terrific sport.”

 At the ribbon-cutting ceremony and subsequent gymnastics demonstration, the Acting Mayor for Smiths Falls, Gerry Huddleston, offered his congratulations on behalf of the community to the local gymnastics club.

 “We have used this grant to purchase a new spring floor that will allow us to provide a complete training facility for the town and area’s future gymnastics stars,” said Head Coach Amy Callan. “We are thankful for the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s commitment to sports and recreation in our community.”

 “We love the new floor! It really helps us practice our tumbling lines,” said 13-year old Megan Peterson, one of the 24 Gym Stars who danced and tumbled during the thrilling 10-minute spring floor demonstration.
