Gambling revenue is flowing from the provincial government to community organizations across B.C.
Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Lisa Beare said community members will benefit from enhanced programs and community services, funded through commercial gambling revenue from the B.C. Lottery Corp.
“Local organizations give so much back to our communities,” said Lisa Beare, MLA for Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows. “Across Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, these grants are supporting essential programming that make our lives better.”
