It looks like most of the community non-profit groups requesting help from the City of Wetaskiwin will get at least part of their request.

The City of Wetaskiwin, during its recent budget deliberations process, received a number of funding requests from various local groups. A few received what they requested, most received a part of what they requested and a few did not receive any funds.

City of Wetaskiwin communications manager Ren Goode provided a list of those grants and the grant amounts.
