Time is running out to apply for Hydro One's Energizing Life Community Fund.
The company is handing out $25,000 in funding to Indigenous communities, charitable organizations, and municipalities across the province that promote physical, psychological, and emotional well-being.
Last year, Chatham-Kent Fire Rescue was selected to receive funding. The grant was put towards a Mobile Command Unit.
"Thanks to the Hydro One Energizing Life Community Fund, we’ve been able to develop a new Mobile Command Unit and have already put it to use while responding to emergencies in the community," said Fire Chief Chris Case in a news release on Friday. "The Command Unit allows our first responders to get fast access to equipment and information, as well as on-site rehabilitation for firefighters to receive medical attention if needed."
Over the past three years, recipients of the Energizing Life Community Fund have directly supported community safety and wellbeing.
These programs include increased access to mental health support for farmers, city beautification through mural projects, and peer-led education to combat homophobia and transphobia.
Interested programs can apply through Hydro One's website.
Applications close on January 31, 2024.
