Cranbrook city council has provided their list of ReDi grant recipients that will go to the RDEK for final approval.
ReDi Grants are given out annually by the Columbia Basin Trust and recipients are approved by the RDEK board.
Included in Cranbrook’s list is $28,000 for the Cranbrook Food Bank and $3,000 for the Ktunaxa/Kinbasket Child and Family Service Society.
Councilor Lynnette Wray says they are seeing a number of applications for food purchases.
“There were multiple applications that involved purchasing food, so we would encourage applicants to consider group buying opportunities, whether that’s through the Cranbrook Food Bank, Salvation Army or School District No. 5.”
Other large ticket items include $13,300 to the Cranbrook and District Arts Council Society, $20,000 for the East Kootenay Track and Field Association and $30,000 for the Fisher Peak Performing Artists Society.
In total The City has $292,550 to give out.
The full list of recipients can be found here.
Their list will be given to the RDEK for review during its meeting on June 13.
