FedNor Defends Decision

FedNor is defending its decision to cut a popular funding program. The agency announced earlier this month the Local Initiatives Fund is the victim of federal budget cuts. Aime DiMatteo is Director General of FedNor and says they had to cut 10 percent from their budget this year. Under the Local Initiatives Fund, Community Development Agencies were able to provide grants of up to five thousand dollars to local projects.
