Youth in Philanthropy Hands out Grants

Its a Dog's Life, the Agape Table, the Fellowship Center, and the Kenora Public Library.

Those were just some of the non-profit groups in the city that received a bit of a boost from the Youth in Philanthropy Program.

Evan Michaluk has been a member of the Thomas Aquinas group for the past four years and says its a good way to become more involved in your community.

A total of eight 700 dollar cheques were presented at a granting ceremony yesterday.

Other receipients included the Women's Shelter, Lake of the Woods Water Sustainability Foundation, the Minto Resource Center and the Harborfront Concert Series.
