The Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union’s board of directors chose the three finalists for the SASCU Canada 150 Grant of $50,000.
SASCU members will begin voting May 1 for their favourite community project.
The winner of the grant will be announced on Canada Day.

SASCU’s board of directors shortlisted the 28 eligible applicants for the award down to three based on the grant’s criteria – a key factor being the long term betterment of the community.
The finalist projects that Members will vote on are the following:
• Larch Hills Chalet Expansion, by Larch Hills Nordic Society;
• Eagle Valley Volunteer Transportation, by Eagle Valley Transportation Society;
• Recycling Centre, by BC SPCA – Shuswap branch.
