Apply for the local rural Crime watch grant

The deadline for the Local Rural Crime Watch Grant is approaching.

Local rural crime watch associations must submit their application for the $1,000 annual grant to the Farmers’ Advocate Office (FAO) before January 15.

The FAO offers a $1,000 grant to a local rural crime watch association for an innovative project that helps prevent and mitigate crime in rural communities. Rural crime watch associations can submit letters outlining their ongoing or completed efforts to reduce crime in their respective communities. In 2017, the FAO awarded this grant to the Leduc Rural Crime Watch Association.

Applicants can submit their applications digitally to farmers.advocate@gov.ab.ca or by mail to the Farmers’ Advocate Office: 100, 7000 - 113 St. Edmonton, AB T6H 5T6.

For more information, please contact the FAO at 310-FARM (3276) or farmers.advocate@gov.ab.ca.
