CVCF seeks applications for Arnold Ellis youth fund
Arnold Ellis, a long-term resident of the Columbia Valley, provided a generous bequest to the young people of the Columbia Valley, through the Columbia Valley Community Foundation.
Mr. Ellis left a legacy to support students in reaching their potential through education, as well as ultimately benefitting their community and country.
This grant is for people between the ages of 17 and 35 who resided in the Columbia Valley between Canal Flats and Spillimacheen in their youth. It is intended to support current and former residents who wish to pursue accredited post-secondary education or training (in the trades, college, technical school, university and any other education required for upgrading).
Community organizations with a Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) charitable status designation may also apply for funding for a project dedicated to enhancing skills and capabilities of local youth.
