Community Forest corporation hands out $120,000 in grants Smithers Interior News – August 26, 2011The Wetzin’kwa Community Forest Corporation handed out $120,000 to area community groups this year. The community forest group hands money out to successful groups on an annual basis and the money each year depends on the profit the corporation made over the year as all profits are redistributed.
“The key objective of the program is to provide support for a broad range of projects and initiatives that will return the greatest long-term benefit to residents of the Bulkley Valley,” said Bruce Hutchinson, Communication and Community Engagement Coordinator for Wetzin’kwa. In order for a community group to apply, they have to carry out their activities in either Moricetown, Smithers, Telkwa or surrounding Bulkley Valley area. The group also has to be a not-for-profit operation (charitable status is not required) and the individual grants can be no greater than $10,000.
