Groups from 250 communities across the province benefitted from the funding, which supports local initiatives through licensed charitable gaming activities such as bingos, raffles and poker tournaments.
"Our government is committed to delivering for Saskatchewan communities and one of the ways we do that is through charitable gaming grants," Minister Responsible for LGS Jeremy Harrison said. "Proceeds from gaming in Saskatchewan support charitable organizations and activities across the province, including the arts, culture and sport, hospital foundations, service clubs and more.”

While larger centres like Saskatoon and Regina received more than $498,000 and $410,000 respectively, communities throughout the province also saw strong support. Prince Albert and area groups received more than $269,000, Meadow Lake and area more than $207,000, Humboldt and Melfort area more than $148,000, Weyburn and Estevan area more than $119,000, Yorkton and Melville area more than $97,000 and Swift Current and area more than $58,000.
These quarterly grants are paid to groups in good standing that hold licensed charitable gaming events, with each grant equal to 25 per cent of the net revenue raised, up to a maximum of $100,000 per group each year. The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) calculates each grant amount based on financial reports and other information submitted by the organizations.
