Meadow Lake, Humboldt, Melfort and Prince Albert are among the roughly 230 communities and 1,100 organizations receiving support from $2.1 million in fourth quarter charitable gaming grants from Lotteries and Gaming Saskatchewan (LGS).

“Our government is committed to delivering for Saskatchewan communities and one of the ways we do that is through charitable gaming grants,” Jeremy Harrison, Meadow Lake MLA and minister responsible for LGS said in a news release.

“The proceeds from gaming in Saskatchewan support charitable organizations and activities across the province, including the arts, culture, sports and more.”

Here’s how the funding is laid out: Prince Albert and area will receive more than $122,000, Meadow Lake and area – more than $55,000 and Humboldt, Melfort and area over $60,000.

According to the release, the grants are paid out quarterly to those who are “in good standing that conduct licensed charitable gaming activities such as bingos, raffles, break open ticket sales, Texas hold ’em poker tournaments and Monte Carlo events.”
