CRD Awards Multiple Community Organizations Funding for Events and Projects

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
