Falher is one of three Prairie communities selected to receive a $100,000 grant from the Richardson Pioneer Century Gifts Program.
The Peace-area town will use the funds for renovation of the Falher Honey Capital Playground.
It joins Minnedosa, Man. and Whitewood, Sask., as the applicants chosen from the 145 proposals received since the program was announced in the spring.
While the Richardson Pioneer Century Gifts Program was created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Richardson Pioneer, Canada’s largest, privately owned agribusiness, the company regularly donates more than $1 million each year to support community initiatives and organizations through the Richardson Foundation, the company says in a release.
“At Richardson, we are proud of our long history of supporting communities across Western Canada,” said president and CEO Curt Vossen. “A key part of our success has been the strength of the communities in which our customers and employees live and work and we will continue to look for opportunities to invest in projects and give back to those communities.”
