Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall is welcoming $192,500 in funding for three not-for-profit organizations in Nelson and Kaslo. The West Kootenay Community Ecosociety, the Kaslo Search and Rescue Society and Nelson Search and Rescue Society are receiving the funds thanks to the Community Gaming Grants Program.
Across the province, over 145 public safety-related organizations are receiving more than $6.5-million this year. Through public safety programs, these groups provide emergency and lifesaving services including search and rescue activities, volunteer fire departments, emergency preparedness, community and restorative justice, and more.
Mungall recognizes that these organizations’ staff and volunteers do so much for the Kootenays.
