Three Summerland organizations are among nine area recipients of funding through the Community Gaming Grant program.
The funding was awarded in the categories of sport, arts and culture.
The Summerland Figure Skating Club received $14,000, the Summerland Museum and Heritage Society received $15,000 and the Summerland Community Arts Council received $22,500.
The province gave a total of $270,000 to various organizations in the area.
“These great organizations are doing their part to contribute to our community and provide opportunities for local residents to stay active and healthy,” said MLA Dan Ashton.
“Organized sports teach our children the value of sportsmanship, teamwork and hard work, skills they will carry with them throughout their lives. I am very pleased to see such worthy organizations receiving this funding through the Community Gaming Grant program.”
In the 2012 to 2013 fiscal year, $135 million worth of gaming grants were provided to 5,300 community organizations across the province.
