One winner in
granis debaie

There were more losers than
winners when Central Saanich
council reviewed preliminary 1993
grant requests at a Nov. 16 council
meeting.

Approved was a grant of
$31,000 for the Greater Victoria
Boys’ and Girls’ Club.

Applications from the Belfry
Arts Centre for $4,000 and from
Pitch-In British Columbia for
$350 were denied.

Also rejected was a bid from the
Central Saanich Lions Club for
$2,700 and a request from the
Peninsula Country Market for
$400.

Treasurer Paul Murray explained
the Lions Club grant was a request
for municipal cutting of grass at a
ball park used by the community
and for services to Central Saanich
Days.

The Peninsula Country Market
had asked the municipality to cut
the grass for the market.

Coun. Arlene Box suggested the
Country Market could fund the
grass-cutting from money raised
through table rentals.

The single approved grant will
be included in the 1993 provi-
sional budget.

Murray recommended any
increase in grant funding be
restricted to a three per cent
increase over 1992 — a total equal
to the $31,000 allocated to the
Boys’ and Girls’ Club.

The Boys and Girls Club had
requested $33,500.

Central Saanich council is
attempting to keep any budget
increase at or below three per cent.
