Two youth projects in Burns Lake have received funding from the Nechako Kitamaat Development Fund Society.
The first is for the Burns Lake & District Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Lakes District Secondary School Parent Advisory Council which received $3,000.
This is for two career days that will connect grade 9 students with local professionals.
Additionally, the Burns Lake Youth Soccer Association received $5,000.
A news release said this is for the Soccer Association to purchase equipment, nets, coaching and equipment for referees after having a two-year hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This funding is a part of a new NKDF funding cycle which is the under $5,000 Program.
According to the society, grant requests for under $5,000 are accepted on a continuous basis within a two-week response time.
