Over $100,000 was distributed to City of Powell River and community organization projects from Powell River Community Forest (PRCF) Ltd., a second disbursement in one of the company’s best harvest years. Powell River council voted to accept PRCF board’s recommendations for grant support at its October 15 meeting. “It’s a great asset for us to have to be able to support a number of capital projects like this for the city and region,” said councillor Russell Brewer.
