The Village of Dodsland is pleased to have been the recipient of a grant from The Municipal Economic Enhancement Program (MEEP). Saskatchewan municipalities that submitted and had their project plans approved by the Ministry of Government Relations could access funds from MEEP. The program supported a wide range of project types.

Amy Sittler from the Village of Dodsland described their project, establishing a small compost area where residents can dispose of grass and leaves. The compost site is new for the community and very necessary, as there was no area available for the disposal of leaves and grass.

Sittler noted that the grant received will help with the recovery of the economic effects felt during COVID 19. It also helps encourage developments within the province.

The timing of the grant also coincides with Earth Day on April 22. The grant stipulates that all MEEP funding must be used by March 31, 2022.
