The Columba Basin Trust’s Community Initiative Program public meeting is scheduled for 7 pm at the Community Centre on Tuesday, March 4.
This is the meeting where clubs, non-profit societies and other organizations make their pitch for a slice of the CBT’s granting program.
The people attending the meeting must be members of a local club and the more that show up the better a club’s chances of receiving a grant since meeting participants vote on the clubs they’d most like to see receive funding.
