"The primary purpose of a grant in aid is to provide one time financial assistance to an organization for a specific project or event that benefits the residents ... Preference will be given to organizations that are locally based." from here. Bill Baird is the elected representative of area E charged with distributing grant in aid funding. Area E and Big White (2011 tax summaries here) show only 10% of Big White's local aid funding is spent locally, while 90% is diverted to other projects. Bill Baird is the elected representative of area E charged with distributing grant in aid funding. As line 3 Big White residents contributed $59, 402 of the area E total $104,772 in 2011. Mr. Baird distributed $5000 dollars back to residents of Big White (to supplies at the Ski Patrol Hut which should not qualify for Grant in Aid), and $113,071 to other communities in area E (which include his home areas of Midway and Rock Creek) during 2011. It is estimated Mr. Baird has redirected well over $500,000 of Grant in Aid from Big White to the Boundary since taking office. Many Big White Residents and visitors are surprised to learn there are absolutely no public parks or public recreational facilities despite paying almost $5,000,000 in annual property taxes . This contrasts sharply with smaller communities in the district E that enjoy parks, programs rinks, and services with public funds as below. Since these funds could secure matching Provincial (double local funds up to $85,000 per year based on area E population as per section 8.3.a here) or Gaming Grant funding (up to 75% when combined with Provincial), three dollars in grant funding is available for every local dollar raised.
