The Battlefords and area are among the recipients of some of the charitable gaming grants distributed by Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority.
Approximately $1.7 million in charitable gaming grants have been distributed to more than 700 groups and organizations in the province, according to a new release issued this week by the province.
Of that total, $96,420 have been handed out this quarter to North Battleford and surrounding area.
