Four NWT projects are among the recipients of Field Law’s 2024 community fund program.
A total of $15,000 was available to applicants across the territory, with public votes helping to determine how that funding would be distributed.
In a Tuesday press release, Field Law announced the Yellowknife Gymnastics Club will be awarded $6,000 for its Gymnastics for All program while a project offering peer support for families of children with autism will get $5,000.
Expansion and revitalization of the Kimberlite Career and Technical Centre received $2,000 as did an NWT wellness map and Indigenous wellness programs from Sweetgrass Healing Centre, which won an employees’ choice award.
According to Field Law, the law firm awarded a total of $80,000 to winning projects across the NWT and Alberta. The company said more than 51,000 votes were cast for a record 175 applications during the online voting period.
