<h2>Community groups, schools can apply for grants for environmental projects</h2>
<div class="yiv1208449481MsoNormal">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 class="yiv1208449481MsoNormal">The deadline for receipt of grant applications is May 31. 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>
