In December 2024, the Vauxhall Ag Society received a grant of $15,000 from the Community Foundation of Lethbridge and Southwestern Alberta.

“Our organization applied for the grant to go toward the new multi-purpose building project at the Vauxhall Rodeo Grounds,” said Jo Jones, Vice President of the Vauxhall Ag Society and Judy Leeson, Vauxhall Ag Society Rodeo Grounds committee member.

Jones and Leeson say that the decision regarding the grant was made by the Community Foundations board of directors and the Vauxhall Ag Society was presented with the grant money on December 12, 2024, at the Vauxhall Ag Society Rodeo Grounds by Arlene Parkinson, who is on the board of directors for Community Foundations. 

“We were incredibly grateful for the support,” said Jones and Leeson.
