Richibucto, December 9th, 2024 – The Kent Regional Service Commission is proud to announce that the New Brunswick RCMP will be supporting a new initiative called “Champions of the Greater Kent Region” by providing financial assistance. A generous donation of $1,100.00 was raised for the new program during the New Brunswick RCMP’s Southeast District Regimental Ball, which took place at the Pays de la Sagouine in May 2024.
In collaboration with the Kent Wellness Network, the Kent Regional Service Commission is working to develop a regional IDEA (Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility) enhancement program, which will provide assistance to youth aged 18 and under who, due to a lack of financial resources, do not have the opportunity to participate in community, sporting, artistic or cultural activities that interest them. The program will help address challenges related to participation, including registration fees, equipment and/or material costs. This regional project will rely on the support of community organizations, various levels of government and the community to promote and support this new initiative. Its official launch will take place during the 2024-2025 school year.
