Kaniva College will receive $2000 to install three flagpoles as part of the Federal Government’s Saluting Their Service, STS, commemorative grants program.

The program will distribute more than $1 million Australia-wide for projects that celebrate and commemorate local Australian Defence Force veterans.

Grants are available to applicants including ex-service organisations, community groups, schools and local councils.

STS offers community grants of up to $10,000 for local, community-based commemorative activities, with major grants of between $10,001 and $150,000 available for commemorative projects with national, state, territory, or regional impact.

Minister for Veterans and Defence Personnel Matt Keogh said the grants would make an impact in their communities.

“Australia’s service personnel come from all corners of our vast nation, this program ensures that the stories of local heroes are known, and recognised,” he said.

To find more information about the grants or apply, people can visit www.grants.gov.au.
