The RM of Cartier may be home to some new fruit or nut trees in the near future. Reeve Dale Fossay says a local group from the village of Eli South recently brought a "Tree Canada" program to council's attention in hopes of securing their endorsement. Fossay notes a municipality has to sponsor or endorse any application to the program, which gives grants worth up to four thousand dollars for community-based projects that provide residents with access to fresh fruit and nut trees and shrubs. The deadline for applying to the "Edible Trees" project is February 24th, with the winners scheduled to be announced on April 4th.
