Community
is who we are...
People make our community what it is. Your Community Foundation is run by your neighbours, friends, and family. We are here to help you find ways to help your community... because that's just what we do.
The deadline for applications for the Donnie Nicholson Memorial Trades/ Technology Bursary is August 30th. If you are between the ages of 18-29, residing in the valley from Blue River to McLure and entering a post secondary institution in the trades or technology check out the NTCF website (ntcommunitiesfoundation.com) for the application and guidelines.
Some of the NTCF directors got to take part in pine needle basket weaving yesterday at the Aboriginal Engagement Program at Dutch Lake Community Centre with the head of the program, Cindy Wilgosh and special guest, Flora .
The NTCF awarded a grant to support the program that is geared towards teaching younger children the cultural and traditional teachings of the First Nations Peoples of Canada.
The funds awarded went towards purchasing crafts supplies, posters, drum making supplies, a storage bin, an aboriginal teachings book and a seven Grandfather teaching mat.
Saying "thank you " to the folk who've donated pocket books to the book shelf in the entrance way of the information Center. Visitors are donating to the NTCF and all the cash then goes into the enduring accounts with the future Valley generation folk being able to benefit from your generosity!
