Children ages six to 12 will enjoy scheduled recreation and learning activities
while participating in the Lloydminster Children's Summer Day Camp.
The Lloydminster Native Friendship Centre, in partnership with the Lloydminster
Metis Housing Group Inc., today received $4,600 from the provincial government
toward the summer day camp. Children will learn that they are valued and
respected while having fun with friends and camp staff.
"Since 1997, more than $5 million in casino profits have supported community-
based programs for vulnerable children, youth and families through the
Associated Entities Fund," Violet Stanger, MLA for Lloydminster, said on behalf
of Municipal Affairs, Culture and Housing Minister Carol Teichrob.
The Associated Entities Fund receives a portion of the profits from Casino
Regina, the Gold Eagle Casino in North Battleford, the Northern Lights Casino
in Prince Albert and the Painted Hand Casino in Yorkton.
