Several Kelowna groups to benefit from recovery grant program

Eighteen local, non-profit, sport and cultural organizations have been selected to participate in Kelowna's one-time, Recovery and Sustainability Grant program.

For many in the sport and creative sectors, closures and canceled seasons have created an excessive strain on their viability.

Participating in the program will give them the opportunity to prepare for the future of their organizations after COVID restrictions are lifted.
