Three Yellowknife-based organizations will be sharing $15K in Canada Post Community Foundation grants.
The Yellowknife Playschool Association, the NWT Montessori Society, and the Sport North Federation will each see a $5,000 award from the Canada Post Community Foundation as all three have fit the foundation’s bill for organizations that are dedicated to improving the lives of Canadian children and youth.
The Playschool Association plans on using their share towards their “Stay Active in Winter” program, the Montessori Society will use theirs to fund improvements to their outdoor play space, and the Sport North Federation says their grant will go towards their Chekoa sǫnaÌ€deÌ€ project which aims to encourage youth to engage in Indigenous games and on-the-land learning.
Three cheque presentations are scheduled at the Yellowknife Main Post Office between September 24th and October 4th.
