The organizers of this year’s National Aboriginal Day celebrations in Burns Lake will again be getting assistance from the municipality.
Village chief administrative officer Sheryl Worthing said in a subsequent interview that municipal employees will complete all associated paperwork including the formal route request and provincial approval form. Event organizers will also be granted free use of Spirit Square for the day.
The village’s in-kind donation has an approximate value of $500.
“The village does not typically provide cash donations to events,” she continued. “However, Aboriginal Day is an incredibly important event to our community, so council wanted to provide support any way we could.”
