SLGA Minister Lori Carr has announced the Saskatchewan government is providing approximately 1.5 million dollars to groups and organizations that raise money through charitable gaming activities.  It comes from the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority charitable grant program.  Through the grants Creighton will receive just over 13 thousand dollars with 9866 dollars going to Creighton Community Centre Incorporated and 3217 to Creighton Northern Growing Abilities Incorporated.

The charitable gaming grant program provides grants equal to 25 percent of the net revenues raised through charitable gaming activities such as licensed bingos, raffles, breakopen tickets and other events.  Groups don’t have to apply for the grant as charitable gaming reports submitted by the groups are used by the Authority to calculate the grants which are paid out each quarter.
