The Government of Saskatchewan has announced $100,000, which will be part of the 2019-2020 budget, will help groups who work to support veterans.

Premier Scott Moe detailed that funding grants will be available for Royal Canadian Legion branches and Army, Navy, Air Force Veterans (ANAVETS) units in the province, making sure our veterans have continued support and the memory of fallen soldiers is remembered.

In an announcement video, Moe said “Past and present members of the Canadian Forces have taken it upon themselves to safeguard our freedoms and give back greatly to their communities. Now it's our turn to support our veterans who have served and put everything on the line. Today, our government is announcing a $100,000 Legion and ANAVETS Support Program that will provide funding grants to Legion branches and ANAVETS units across Saskatchewan.”

The province will be working with both the Legion and ANAVETS to determine where the funding be best utilized. More details will be released soon.
