Jul 4, 2024 | 7:00 AM

The Northwestern Alberta Foundation and the Side family have established an endowment fund to support needs across the area.

The $1.4 million dollar Barb and Al Side Family Fund will honour of Barb and Al Side and their many contributions to their community.

The foundation will accept applications each year from across northwestern Alberta for support, consulting with the Side Family to determine their priorities.

Barb and Al’s daughter Linda Side says the endowment provides a vehicle to give others a way to achieve what’s possible when you get a leg up.

“That it goes on in perpetuity speaks to Mom and Dad’s steadfast belief around investment whether in family, community involvement or building business. The view is always long term. And in the case of this fund, forever.
