Funding Sought for Orpheus Project

The OPP and a number of other community partners have applied for funding for a new program to help out local youth.

The Orpheus Project is being supported by the Kenora Metis Council and Making Kenora Home.

The groups have applied for 20 thousand dollar grant from the Safer and Vital Communities Fund.

The money would be used to set up a music resource room equipped with instruments for a music drop-in center.

The goal of the project is to use music to create and safe environment for youth.

The groups are still waiting to hear if their application is successful.
