Shoal Creek receives HSF grant funding

Shoal Lake Cree Nation is among five Saskatchewan communities to receive grant dollars from the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Shoal Lake will use the funding from My Healthy Community grant program for its Foods from the Creator project. “We had an overwhelming response, with over 140 applications for grants,” said Lorie Langenfurth, HSF CEO in a news release. ”Many Saskatchewan communities face significant challenges in making healthy choices available and affordable. That’s why it is so encouraging to see these grass-roots organizations wanting to initiate proactive programs that promote healthy living in their communities.” Grants for up to $4,000 were awarded.
