The City of Humboldt will continue to support the work of Safe Communities Humboldt and Area.

Thursday, Mayor Rob Muench presented the non profit organization with a cheque worth $10,000, the normal funding amount for the group annually.

"We've always been a big supporter of Safe Communities Humboldt and Area ever since I've been on council. We're one of the first communities in the province to adopt a safe communities concept and we're glad for the work they do. Safety is a big part of our everyday lives and the more we can promote it the better."

Executive Director Shari Hinz admits the funding is crucial.

"It helps us with our core funding and allows us to work on developing programming so this is greatly appreciated from the City of Humboldt for sure."

Safe Communities holds incredible events covering their field including mock crashes, agricultural safety days, guest speakers, and more.
