Several Delta organizations are receiving provincial gaming grants.
On Friday, the province announced the Delta not-for-profit groups that deliver social services to people and families, and other organizations across B.C., will benefit from the Community Gaming Grants program.
“Since the start of the pandemic, the not-for-profit sector has been a beacon for many British Columbians, guiding them through challenging times with programs that have made life better and helped keep communities resilient,” said Josie Osborne, Minister of Municipal Affairs, in a news release. “We are stronger when we work together, and our government is committed to supporting these organizations and the people who rely on them - today, and as we move forward into recovery.”
The province notes that since 2017, Community Gaming Grants have annually supported more than 1,400 not-for-profit organizations in the human and social services sector.
