A number of sports programs in 100 Mile House, as well as the 100 Mile House and District Historical Society will receive some added support with Community Gaming Grants totalling $107,440, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett announced today.

“The 100 Mile House and District Historical Society will have the resources to help tell the stories of our history to residents and visitors through their museum program,” Barnett said. “Sports associations and groups in 100 Mile will also receive a boost of funding to help with travel costs to tournaments in other locations, arena fees or help purchase new equipment.”
These grants are awarded under Sport and the Arts and Culture categories of the Community Gaming Grant Program, which allows non-profit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. Gaming grants are also awarded in the categories of Public Safety, Environment and Human and Social Services.
In the 2012/13 fiscal year, Government contributed $135 million in gaming grants for eligible community programs and services.
