"The Community Initiatives Fund is making a vital contribution to the Yorkton community through its support of this project."

The CIF was established by the provincial government in 1997 to return a portion of casino profits to communities. Since its inception, the fund has provided more than 1,900 community groups with a total of more than $12 million.
