Rosetown Kid Kare expands with ADAMA Canada Funding

Rosetown Kid Kare celebrated the opening of its expanded facility this September, thanks in part to $7,500 in funding from ADAMA Canada’s Stomping Grounds initiative.

The child care centre’s board member, Kailyn Krchov, said the contribution helped the community raise $2.5 million for the project. “Our local families and businesses were generous, but support from larger companies like ADAMA makes a real difference in rural communities,” she said.

ADAMA Canada’s Stomping Grounds program provides up to $10,000 per project to support community initiatives across Canada, including playgrounds, rinks, child and senior care centres, and agricultural education programs. Since 2023, the initiative has contributed $240,000 to more than 40 projects.

Gord Hounjet, ADAMA’s area business manager, said watching Rosetown Kid Kare come to life has been a highlight of his career. “It’s rewarding to see the impact a project like this has on kids and parents in the community,” he said.

ADAMA Canada is now accepting nominations for 2026 funding. Individuals and organizations can apply until Jan. 31, 2026, with selected projects announced in February.

“Rural communities are the heartbeat of our country,” said Jodi Starodub, marketing lead at ADAMA Canada. “We’re proud to help where we can.”
