HGCT - 2020 Annual Report
Community
Over the past 21 years, the Heritage Green Community Trust has given to a wide variety of Community Organizations in the Stoney Creek area.
Some projects include the Stoney Creek Santa Claus Parade, Friends of the Eramosa Karst, Camp Trillium, and the Heritage Green Community Trust Leash Free Dog Park located in the Heritage Green Passive Park in Upper Stoney Creek.
School
Since its inception, the Heritage Green Community Trust has given funding to all the schools that reside within a 3 km radius of the Stoney Creek Regional Facility.
Some of the projects funded by the trust are Saltfleet High School’s Stage upgrades and Mount Albion Elementary School’s new creative play structure.
This funding has benefited multiple schools, students and staff in the community.
Legacy
The Heritage Green Community Trust has three legacy projects we are very proud to be involved with.
Heritage Green Sports Park
In June 2002 the Trust held a ground breaking ceremony for the new Heritage Green Sports park. The lands were purchased by the Trust from the former Philip Services Corporation and donated to the City of Hamilton for the use of the new sports park.
In 2014 the Trust granted funding for a new Leash Free Dog Park adding to the West Passive Park adjacent to the Sports Park.
Eramosa Karst Conservation Area
In October 2006 the Trust donated $1.5 million to the Hamilton Conservation Foundation for the development of the Eramosa Karst Conservation Area.
Maplewood Park Splash Pad
In 2018 the Trust donated $141,500 to help in the construction of the Maplewood Park Splash Pad Project.
