2024 CERB Cheque Presentations

May 28, 2024 in CommunityEventsNotices

Annually, the Wheatland County Community Enhancement Regional Board (CERB) meets to review, evaluate, prioritize, and decide on the distribution of funding set aside in the Community Enhancement Reserve. This year, on May 7, 2024, Council approved 56 CERB projects, totaling $432,722.12, to support recreational and cultural initiatives by local non-profit groups, enhancing our community’s vibrancy and inclusiveness. Since its inception in 2012, the CERB program has contributed $5,322,055 to 561 projects, enriching and improving Wheatland County.

Successful applicants were invited to send representatives of their community groups to receive their funding on May 21, 2024, at the Wheatland County Administration Building.

Most groups were able to attend, with a small number requiring their cheques to be mailed and/or delivered directly by their Councillor.
