The Primrose Lake Economic Development Corporation has issued a press release indicating some payments have gone out to elders in the area.

 

The money comes from the government in response to its decision several decades ago to seize land in the primrose area to use as testing for airweapons.

 

Through a press release today, the corporation says a certain portion of the funding has been designated for elder initiatives.

 

Those initiatives are specific to elders who live in the area, or are contributing to the cultural knowledge and traditional practices in the area.

 

Senior’s housing projects are just one example of the initiatives being considered.

 

The corporation says it’s Board of Directors will use discretion to determine who is eligible to receive the dollars.
