$250 will be allocated from the Town’s Discretionary Fund.
The committee had requested a $1000 commitment.
Here’s Councillor Jim Elford.
The group has brought almost 80 refugees to the area.
Council has advised the Refugee Committee to apply for a Community Initiative Grant through the RDCK and Columbia Basin Trust.
