<div style="text-indent: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;">Applications are now being accepted from community groups and schools for Community Conservation Grants given out by the Grand River Conservation Foundation and the Grand River Conservation Authority.</div>
<div style="text-indent: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;">Each year grants of up to $1,000 are awarded to qualified groups (must be a registered charity), or up to $500 for elementary schools, undertaking conservation projects in communities throughout the Grand River
watershed. Eligible projects must be tangible and available for the use or benefit of the entire community.</div>
<div style="text-indent: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;">The deadline for receipt of grant applications is May 2. The award recipients will be selected this summer with the cheque presentation taking place this fall. A final report may be requested of grant recipients
within one year, or upon the successful completion of the project.</div>
<div style="text-indent: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;">Applications can be downloaded from <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.grcf.ca"><font color="blue"><u>www.grcf.ca</u></font></a> or by contacting the foundation in Cambridge at (519) 621-2763 ext. 2373 or by e-mail at <a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:foundation@grandriver.ca" target="_blank" href="/mc/compose?to=foundation@grandriver.ca"><font color="blue"><u>foundation@grandriver.ca</u></font></a>
