MORE THAN two dozen community groups received more than $63,000 Feb. 10 from the Terrace 2010 BC Winter Games Society, the surplus from staging the games here.
The $63,687.18 from the society’s legacy fund will benefit hundreds of people in a wide variety of ways, said society president Peter Weeber.
“We are really happy to see so many community groups benefit from the legacy fund. More than 1,900 volunteers stepped up to the plate last year, giving their time and efforts to make the Terrace 2010 BC Winter Games a terrific event,” said Weeber.
“It feels great to be able to give back to the community and recognize those efforts.”
