Council approves community grants for 2019
North Battleford City Hall approved a number of grants for local community non-profit organizations for 2019, but noted it wasn’t able to fund every request since the city’s coffers are tight.
“That was arguably one of the toughest decisions for council to make,” Mayor Ryan Bater said following the meeting. “We dedicated a whole night to it actually.”
Among those receiving grants will be the North Battleford Transit System at $268,780 and The Battlefords Humane Society at $271,893.
Bater said while deciding, councillors looked for the organization’s demonstrated need as well as the city’s ability to be able to actually cover the grant.
