Ten thousand dollars in Rural Dividend Funding has been given to the District of Wells for the beautification of Historic Wells Cemetery.
One of the Fund’s many streams allows smaller communities to apply for up to 10 thousand dollars to go towards large projects.
Thanks to the funding, the District will be able to perform upgrades and improve maintenance.
Along with that, the funding will also allow them to improve their marketing of the cemetery as a historic site.
Many of Wells’ earliest residents are burried there, and the District wants to ensure that site is preserved to honour those families.
