MEDICINE HAT, AB – A $25,000 donation from Canadian Natural Resources will go much further for the Community Foundation of Southeastern Alberta.

The donation to the foundation’s COVID-19 response fund qualifies for the provincial government’s matching fund.

Sue Edwards, assistant director with the Community Foundation, says the money will help a wide variety of local groups.

“This money is going to go right back into our community this summer and into the fall to COVID-related charities to COVID issues that have been caused by COVID for those charities offering programs for food securities, mental health, child and youth care, seniors, just anybody really that’s been affected by COVID.”
