“It’s great news that these local organizations all received funding from the Kinsmen Club of Peterborough. We have strong sense of community and its wonderful to see Kinsmen supporting these worthwhile organizations,” said MPP Piccini. “I’ve seen firsthand the impact that these three organizations have across Northumberland Peterborough-South.

The funding breakdown is as follows:
·Canadian Mental Health Association – $20,000
·Fishability – $10,000
·Castleton Sports Club – $10,000
