Medicine Hat projects receive funding through CARES program
MEDICINE HAT, AB – A pair of Medicine Hat projects are receiving provincial funding to expand their services to the community.
The province announced more than 50 projects will be receiving more than $4 million in provincial funding through the Community and Regional Economic Support (CARES) program. Locally, Medicine Hat College and Community Futures Entre-Corps were both listed as receiving funding.
Medicine Hat College is receiving $215,000 from the program, which will help the college construct a micro grid on campus near the Cultural Centre.
“We’re so excited, and we’re so grateful for the support from the CARES grant and the CARES program,” said Dr. Denise Henning, president/CEO of the college. “A lot of our projects that we’re developing rely on an intense amount of collaboration and partnership within our region and way beyond, so I just want to say that this is an exciting opportunity.”
