Funding has been announced for a mental health initiative at a Wingham high school.
The United Way of Perth-Huron announced the recipients of the 2021-22 Youth in Action Grants, to develop and implement projects addressing important issues in their communities.
United Way officials announced the F.E. Madill “You Matter Student Wellness Seminar” will receive funding.
