Emera NB Donates Five Thousand Dollars To P.R.O. Kids

P.R.O Kids receiving support from Emera NB to the tune of 5-thousand dollars.

The group matches youth with sports and recreation opportunities.

P.R.O. Kids Chair Kathryn Davison tells CHSJ News the money will be of great help as the city was originally going to increase its contribution by 5-thousand dollars this year but refrained in order to deal with the city's pension plan.

Emera General Manager Rob Belliveau says it's important for companies to give to the community especially when many municipalities are facing tighter budgets.
