(Kentville, N.S.) – NDP MLA Jim Morton is excited about the announcement of several Community Crime Prevention and Reduction Investment Grants from the Department of Justice to organizations in Kings North.

Five organizations will receive over $10,000 for projects including after school programs and support for children at risk. One of the grants will help support a 3-day conference that will focus on leadership skills and action plans for communities.

“These grants will go a long way toward helping organizations help our communities,” says Morton. “I want to thank Minister Landry for making this investment in these initiatives.”

Today Justice Minister Landry announced that 35 organizations across the province would receive one-time grants totaling $80,000 for projects aimed at young people.
