Ottawa, ON – We are proud to confirm Ottawa Titans Water Polo club is one of the recipients of the Government of Ontario’s Community Building Fund investment initiative, a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

COVID-19 has had an overwhelming impact on the arts and culture, heritage, tourism, sport and recreation domains. The Ontario government has invested $105 million through the Community Building Fund to support these sectors important for the social and economic fabric of Ontario and its communities.
