A marathon session at Nelson council chambers Monday for local non-profits hoping to get some Columbia Basin Trust funding.
No fewer than 50 groups were scheduled to make their case for a piece of the $145,000 pie this year from Community Initiative Grants.
Here’s councilor Anna Purcell.
Nelson council will decide who gets what in the weeks ahead.
It has a loose policy of awarding 25% of the money to arts, culture and heritage projects.
The other three sectors are projects with an economic, social or environmental focus.
