Rossland council allocates CBT Community Initiatives funding

Rossland city council allocated funds to community organizations that applied for the Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives Program.

Rossland city council met Thursday night to hear from community organizations that had applied for the Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives Program, a program that provides funding for “projects identified as priorities for individual communities.”

After presentations from the applicants, council then had the unenviable task of allocating its $51,772 of funding amongst the organizations, who had collectively requested over $125,000.

The following table shows how much each group requested from the City of Rossland, and how much the Rossland city council approved for each group.
