Dauphin Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation has handed out over 22-thousand dollars in funding to local groups and organizations through their Small Grants program for 2023-24.
Executive Director Amanda Novak goes over the list of recipients.
"We partnered with the Chamber of Commerce for their Street Fair and Dance, we funded the Northwest Metis Council Walk with Pride parade event, the Dauphin Rail Museum with their Classic Car Show, Regional Connections with their Tapestry event that they just had this past October, we helped fund the Fort Dauphin Museum's Christmas at the Fort event, we helped out the Parade of Lights committee, Citizens on Patrol, and the Dauphin Friendship Centre with their Food for Thought program."
Novak says there was more interest in the program this year compared to previous years.
She adds it is a great program.
"We feed money to those folks and organizations that are trying to get projects and programs going in the community that meet the needs of the community. They do fall in line with DNRC mandates that include capacity building, stability, economic development, community connections, and well-being."
Funding for the Small Grant Program is provided to the DNRC by the province's Municipal and Northern Relations portfolio.
The next round of applications for this program opens on April 1st.
