Battle River Community Foundation treasurer Neil Lunty presented a cheque to the Camrose and District Fish and Game Association’s Wayne Harde, Ways and Means chairman; Barry Ness, treasurer; Kevin Stang, director; and Sly Baier, trophy chairman.

The Battle River Community Foundation awarded a $1,200 grant to the Camrose and District Fish and Game Association.

The grant was used to support the construction of an accessible outdoor toilet facility with a 1,000-gallon septic tank. Volunteer club members completed the project.

“I am very grateful for an organization like the Battle River Community Foundation and, on behalf of the Camrose Fish and Game Association, would like to thank the Foundation for this grant to help fund this project. We especially want to thank the benefactors who contribute to the BRCF and make Camrose and area a special place to live. I would encourage everyone to check out the Foundation and possibly become a benefactor as well. The Fish and Game habitat property and fish pond located east of Camrose is a four-season facility, and our recent addition of toilet facilities that are wheelchair accessible is a much-welcomed addition. We encourage the public to come enjoy the natural setting, picnic area, walking trails, and the great trout fishing pond,” said Camrose and District Fish and Game Association’s Wayne Harde.

The grant is funded from income earned in the Beverly (Pearson) Penner and Don Penner Fund and the Students for a Sustainable Environment Fund. These funds allow the Foundation board to match annual grant applicants with the interests their donors wish to support.
The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support organizations in east central Alberta that benefit the local communities and positively impact the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact, and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.

Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $9,308,006 to support charitable activities in the Battle River Region.
