Young Rainbow Warrior Society recipient of CNC Legacy Fund
PRINCE GEORGE–The Young Rainbow Warrior Society of Burns Lake and the District of Mackenzie are the recipients of the College of New Caledonia’s Research Forest Society Legacy Fund (CNCRFS).
In 2019 the CNCRFS put out a call for legacy projects with a focus on environmental improvement, renewable natural resource education and/or outreach programs, outdoor recreation improvement, or social/ environmental commitment to the local communities.
After applicant reviews, the $90,000 grant was split in two.
“The Young Rainbow Warrior Society and District of Mackenzie both submitted strong proposals that fit with the spirit of the legacy fund. Since both projects were not fully dependent on the entire Legacy Fund, the CNCRFS directors agreed that funding two proposals was the fair approach to ensure benefits were maximized across the CNC region.”– CNC Research Forest Manager Carl Pollard.
