As a part of the 2020-21 capital project funding, six community organizations are receiving money and one of them is in Williams Lake.
Vanessa Riplinger is the Executive Director of the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development.
“We were awarded a Gaming Grant from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and from there we were able to secure $220,000 for the Foundry Cariboo-Chilcotin Gathering Place, Smudging Room and Kitchen”.
Riplinger explained how the fund will be used
“We will be tendering the Foundry project and this Gathering Place is a piece of our Foundry. We actually will be developing that piece of the Foundry when we go to revamp the whole bottom floor at the CO-OP building”.
