The Atlantic Coastal Action Program will be the recipient of a special anniversary grant of $15,000 today. The donation comes from the Greater Saint John Community Foundation and is intended to show support of the community’s interest in our environment and act as a tribute to the 18 years of work of ACAP Saint John. The funds will be directed at young people who are seeking work experience in their home community and are working to fix the waterways in Saint John. The announcement will take place at 12:30 today at a public open house for the Marsh Creek Restoration Initiative at the Hilton.
The 15,000 dollars is part of 172,866$ worth of grants the Greater Saint John Community Foundation will be handing out to 51 charities this year.
