The Hebert Group has launched its Deep Roots Foundation and is making financial investments in several southeastern Saskatchewan communities.
The charitable foundation has three priority areas including agriculture, athletics and community wellness.
To kick off the launch of the foundation, all employees of the Hebert Group received $500 in December to donate to an organization of their choice.
The goal is to make significant investments into the five rural communities and city where the Hebert Group operates. Those communities are Moosomin, Whitewood, Redvers, Wawota, Maryfield and Saskatoon.
Scholarships will be awarded to Grade 12 students pursuing post-secondary studies in agriculture or business.
