City doles out cash to community groups helping Edmontonians through the pandemic

EDMONTON --
The city approved an agreement Friday to distribute $1.5 million to community groups helping Edmontonians at high risk of COVID-19 transmission.
The province announced the funding in December and asked both Edmonton and Calgary use it to create COVID care teams to provide on-the-ground support to hard hit neighbourhoods.
Twelve Edmonton agencies are involved and are collaborating to provide immediate help to those who test positive for COVID-19 or who need to isolate.
"I think the premier has put personal sweat and effort into making this happen and it's tailored in Edmonton, to our community," said mayor Don Iveson during a media availability Friday. "It's an example of what we'd like to do more of, not just on COVID but beyond, to get things done."
