The inaugural Blind River Refinery Cameco Charity Golf Tournament raised $15,000 for the Cameco Fund for Mental Health. The fund is now open for applications for organizations working on mental health initiatives in the Blind River area.
“Mental health touches all our lives in different ways and it was evident from the strong support of the Cameco Charity Golf Tournament that it is an important cause to the local community,” said Terry Davis, general manager of Cameco’s Blind River Refinery. “Through the Cameco Fund for Mental Health we will be able to provide some much‐needed aid to help local organizations continue their important work.”
The Cameco Fund for Mental Health is established through the Saskatoon Community Foundation where the company is headquartered. Applications for funding will be received by a panel that includes local mental health professionals and representatives from Cameco.
The grant program is open to registered charities, non‐profits, and organized groups.
The deadline for online applications is 5p.m. Nov. 18, 2022.
All funds will be disbursed to organizations undertaking projects that promote or protect mental health in the Blind River area.
