Community organizations within a 75-kilometre radius of the Whitecap Dakota First Nation have an opportunity to tap into more funds.
The Dakota Dunes Casino’s Community Development Corporation is holding a public information meeting tonight in Saskatoon to explain the application process.
CDC general manager Wilma Isbister expects to have between $4 million and $6 million to give to various organizations.
Isbister says the CDC supports a variety of initiatives under 10 different categories — including health, justice, education, and social development.
She says the CDC will start taking applications in March, with a deadline of mid-April.
Cheques will be delivered the end of June.
The meeting takes place tonight at 6:30 pm at the Hilton Garden Inn in Saskatoon.
