The parent advisory councils of 28 public and private schools in Delta recently received provincial gaming grants.
The province on Monday announced that kids in B.C. will benefit from participation in a wide range of school activities thanks to Community Gaming Grants going to more than 1,300 advisory councils.
“We've been through so much over these past couple of years, and parents have been champions in our schools, working hard to keep kids connected with safe and rewarding extracurricular activities,” said Josie Osborne, Minister of Municipal Affairs, in a news release. “Activities like these provide tremendous benefits for children's health and well-being, and they help keep students active and engaged in learning.”
In total, nearly $11 million is going to parent advisory councils and district parent advisory councils in the 2021/22 school year.
