The Emergency Community Support Fund was an initiative of the Federal Government to provide support to Communities affected by Covid-19. Spearheaded by the Community Foundations of Canada, your Foundation was able to access funding on Phase 1 and Phase 2 of this program. The Association for Community Living (ACL) was awarded support in both Phases to go towards the purchase of a laptop for residents to communicate with family and towards the purchase of a van to assist in client needs.
Len Kowalke from the Brokenhead River Community Hall accepts funding from the Foundation. The Hall was provided a Stabilization Grant to help offset ongoing expenses of the Hall. Due to Covid-19 the Hall has no current revenues because they remain closed. The Foundation was able to provide some relief from its annual fall granting.
