FCC AgriSpirt Fund grants announced

Sep 16, 2020 | 2:04 PM

Four grants from the 2020 round of funding from the FCC AgriSpirit Fund are coming to Northwestern Alberta and Northeastern BC.

The City is getting $25,000 for a new water treatment system for the Dave Barr Arena’s ice-making equipment. This will eliminate the need for hot water in ice making.

A release from the City says this is expected to cut energy use at the facility and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 tonnes a year.

The Beaverlodge Firefighters Association will be getting $20,000 to buy new vehicle extrication tools.
