Several local organizations are set to receive funding from Powell River city council.
The city said more than $300,000 will be given to community organizations as part of the spring 2026 Powell River Community Forest reserve grants.
Top Out Climbing Co-op will receive over $53,000 for new bouldering mats, the Powell River Track and Field Club will get nearly $50,000 for new high-jump mats and a moveable mat shelter and the Powell River Farmers’ Agricultural Institute will get more than $46,000 for concrete flooring for Quonset Hut A.
The three organizations listed will receive the most money.
Representatives from 12 organizations who were selected for funding have been invited to attend the June 4 council meeting to recognize their projects and ongoing contributions to the community.
Representatives from the Powell River Forest board of directors will also be in attendance to present the 2025 dividend to the city.
The community forest was established in 2006 as a forestry company fully owned by the city as its sole shareholder.
Since inception, $13.8 million has been granted to local non-profit organizations and $16.2 million has been spent, committed or saved by the city for projects which benefit the entire community.
The next grant application window will take place in the fall and further details will become available in June.
