Grant money was given out at the last council meeting for Zorra Township.
ZORRA - The Township of Zorra has handed out grants to some worthy organizations.
This is in part with the 2019 Budget Process that is still ongoing. Council considered grant and donation requests for local organizations and groups. Mayor of Zorra Township Marcus Ryan said that these groups must meet requirements.
"The grant money that was approved by council last week is grant money that is made available to community groups every year. There is a deadline in October that groups have to abide by and there's certain requirements they have to meet, in terms that they have financial accountability."
Ryan also stated that these groups do an amazing job making sure cemetery's are maintained.
"Most of them are things around cemetery maintenance. Groups that do an excellent work of maintaining the cemetery's in the township and frankly do a good or better of a job then ourselves at a cheaper price then we could do by ourselves."

Kintore Methodist - $1,000
