The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) awarded just over $4,000 to local non-profits in last week’s [July 11] board meeting.
The funding came from the CRD’s Grants for Assistance, which gives funding to local non-profits that are delivering benefits to their communities.
This year, the CRD awarded funds that will support local events, activities, and projects in communities across the Cariboo-Chilcotin area.
- $1000 – 108 Community Association for a Family-Friendly Fun Day, celebrating the grand opening of a new gazebo and providing updates about a proposed outdoor facility and pickleball courts
- $1000 – Big Creek Community Association for the annual Big Creek Round-up event
- $1000 – Tatlayoko Field Station Society to assist with the Tatlayoko Lake Bird Observatory (TLBO) project
- $700 – Chimney & Felker Lakes Landholders Association for the Music on the Fairways event
- $500 – 100 Mile & District Arts Council, requesting $500 for the Jenny Lester’s Hillbilly Choir Band music workshop event
The CRD says that the 2026 intakes for Grants for Assistance will open on August 1. For more information, visit the CRD’s website.
