New Purchase of Skis for Kamensk-Uralsky's Children's Sports School
The Children's Sports School in Kamensk-Uralsky has recently purchased 22 new pairs of skis, thanks to contributions from local organisations and parents.
The purchase was initiated by the parents of children who train at the "Metallist" Ski-Canoe Station and coach Irina Kuzmina. The "Rusal Kamensk-Uralsky" company contributed 432 thousand rubles towards the purchase, while parents contributed 59 thousand rubles. The local budget contributed 340 thousand rubles, and an additional 349 thousand rubles were contributed by the city administration.
This purchase was made under the initiative budgeting program, a scheme that allows citizens to propose local projects or improvements. The Ministry of Economy and Territorial Development of the Sverdlovsk Region is responsible for the regional competitive selection of such projects for 2026.
The regional competitive selection for initiative budgeting projects in 2026 will start in September 2025. The process involves citizens submitting proposals for local projects or improvements, which are then reviewed for feasibility, compliance with legal and budgetary constraints, and may involve community discussions and expert assessments. Proposals typically must address public benefit, have clear objectives, and sometimes require supporting documentation or endorsements from community members.
In a positive experience for all involved, Mikhail Barenbaum, director of Kamensk-Uralsky's DYSS, commented that the purchase was a positive experience and expressed hope for good results from the young athletes.
It is worth noting that a new children's space was previously opened in Novaya Lyalya under the initiative budgeting program.
For exact and updated details regarding Kamensk-Uralsky's 2026 initiative budgeting program, including precise procedural steps, eligibility criteria, and deadlines, it would be necessary to consult official Kamensk-Uralsky municipal resources or relevant local government websites.

The Children's Sports School in Kamensk-Uralsky, while focusing on skiing, shows interest in other sports as well. The parents of the children who train at the "Metallist" Ski-Canoe Station are proposing the introduction of a football program for the school's extracurricular activities.
Following the successful purchase of 22 new pairs of skis, the parents have found support from local organisations and are optimistic about securing funding for the proposed football program.
