SHEGUIANDAH—Sheguiandah First Nation (SFN) has received funding from Jordan’s Principle to allow its youth to participate in the 50th annual Little Native Hockey League (LNHL) tournament taking place in Toronto in March.
“SFN’s administration is excited to announce that (SFN) was successful in their Jordan’s Principle application for group funding for the Little NHL this year,” a notice on the Sheguiandah Facebook page read last week.
Crystal Madahbee, Ontario Works administrator for SFN told The Expositor, “SFN received approval on an application for Jordan’s Principle funding in the amount of $184,808, which will cover 20 participants and their families.” She noted another employee in SFN administration had completed and forwarded the application for consideration.
“These funds will assist the kids that are playing at the LNHL tournament and their guardian to help with the rising costs of equipment, travel and accommodations,” said Ms. Madahbee.
SFN residents who would like to request an application for funding can do so by contacting Ms. Madahbee at OntarioWorks@sheguiandahfn.ca
