Northern Cadet Programs to receive funding

Norway House, Nelson House, and Cross Lake cadet programs are getting some funding.   The provincial government announced yesterday that the three cadet programs will be getting 38-thousand dollars.

 

Justice Minister Andrew Swan made the announcement in Thompson  and says this is great for more than one reason. Cadet programs create a strong bond between youth and the RCMP and the funding is being provided through criminal forfeiture money. This means that the funding is not comng from tax payers' dollars but rather that the cash comes from the proceeds of unlawful activities.

 

This money will be used to buy new uniforms, and provide healthy snacks during training.
