Battlefords, Meadow Lake area programs receive support from CIF grants announced
A number of Battlefords and Meadow Lake area programs for families will receive support from the Community Initiatives Fund (CIF) grants just announced.
In total, the province provided an emergency support grant to the Community Initiatives Fund for $4 million for the 2021-22 fiscal year, to help offset CIF’s significant loss of core funding due to the temporary closure of Casinos Regina and Moose Jaw during the pandemic.
The province’s Emergency Pandemic Response Gaming Grant will allow CIF to support the delivery of about 400 community-based programs and services throughout Saskatchewan during the year.
The CIF approved $2.6 million in support of 271 programs from the fund’s February 1 and April 1 application deadlines, for the grants announced June 21. These grants will contribute to the health and wellbeing of 40 communities across Saskatchewan.
