Jun 8, 2023 | 3:37 PM

The Alberta Association of Agricultural Societies says it has two grants available for those impacted by wildfires.

TELUS Agriculture & Consumer Goods is supporting one that is intended for any agricultural producers that operate in an area where there was an emergency declaration or evacuation order issued by the provincial government.

Recipients must have been directly impacted. People can nominate themselves or a friend or other family.

The application deadline is June 15. Nomination forms can be found here.

The other grant program is funded by Farm Credit Canada.

It is for society members who have expenses related to helping their communities during the fires.

The application deadline for this is also June 15. A nomination form can be found here.
