The Town of Kindersley is preparing to give community programs and organizations a boost with the Community Grant Program.
Since 2013, the program has helped form a connection between town council and local initiatives while providing financial support for the community programs. Now in its fifth year, the Community Grant Program is offering up to $15,000, and distributing the grants on a semi-annual basis.
$6,750 will be allocated among ten projects for the spring intake of the program. They are seen below:
