The town of Bridgewater will not take any action on a funding request by the YMCA Lunenburg County. The group missed council’s deadline before the 2013-14 budget process. Council also approved its new grants to organizations policy in May, providing guidelines for awarding money to non-profit organizations or societies. The ‘Y’ was looking for support to help cover expenses associated with food and activities for an exchange event in mid-July with youth from the Driftpile Cree First Nations in Northern Alberta. Mayor David Walker says with any new policy, situations will pop-up that will make council wonder how they can address the issue.
Council is expected to follow-up with the YMCA to discuss the new policy and deadlines to ask for support.
