Grant Denied, Appeal Cancelled | Winnipeg News

A senior support group fighting for crime victims over 60 just got blindsided: their $150K grant was denied amid fierce competition, and now they’re told there’s no appeal — even though they’d prepared clients to testify. The city admits the appeal was a scheduling error, but the real blow? Their project doesn’t qualify for appeal under city charter. CEO Amanda Macrae calls it heartbreaking, especially after months of work and client prep. With funding in jeopardy, the group scrambles for alternatives — while city officials admit the new grant system is still a work in progress, and funds remain painfully limited.
