Rodeo benefits from provincial grant
The B.C. government last week awarded a Community Gaming Grant to the Wycliffe Exhibition Association, which hosts the annual Cranbrook Rodeo.
“The Cranbrook Rodeo is an event of great importance to our community,” said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. “This grant will help the Wycliffe Exhibition Association put on a successful 28th Cranbrook Rodeo.”
This grant is awarded under the Arts and Culture Category of the Community Gaming Grant Program, which allows non-profit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. Gaming Grants are also awarded in the categories of Public Safety, Environment and Human and Social Services.
In the 2012/13 fiscal year, the provincial government distributed a total of $135 million in gaming grants for eligible community programs and services.
