SCARBOROUGH and surrounding community and not-for-profit groups will have the opportunity to apply for grants of up to $3000 for the next 12 weeks.
Developer 3 Oceans Property, behind the Iconic Scarborough $450 million, 43-level twin towers project, launched a ‘Community Chest’ project in an effort to “give back” to the community to assist groups and grassroots projects.
The first grant recipient was not-for-profit community centre West Stirling Neighbourhood House (WSNH) to help fund its 30th Anniversary Family Fun Day early next year.
