School advisory councils in the Comox Valley, as well as the rest of the province, are getting some funding to ensure extracurricular activities are available when students can safely participate.
It’s all thanks to more than $11 million in funding through the B.C. government’s Community Gaming Grants program.
The program works to keep activities that benefit the social, cultural and physical health and well-being of students afloat.
K-12 students are given support for experiences like student publications, grad ceremonies and sports or playground equipment, as well as writing, drama and music clubs thanks to the grants program.
