In a press release of September 18th, the Port outlined the background and the numbers behind a donation to Northern Health which provides for a $60,500 contribution towards the Orthopedic Surgery program.
The donation is just the latest of Community contributions that the Port has made from the fund, covering a wide cross section of the fabric of the city and the region, a very visible way of showing the Ports impact on Prince Rupert and the Northwest.
Since its inception, the Community Investment Fund has contributed over 1 million dollars to a number of local initiatives, at times partnering with other local corporations to provide for worthy projects.
Some of the other contributions of note include:
