This letter is to clarify some information that was recently provided to your paper. It concerns funding for the Olds Ag Society project as reported on Jan. 18 in a story entitled ìRacino is the word.îThe story indicated that funding for the project would be provided, in part, from FCC. This quote was attributed to a member of the Commonwealth Corporate Support Services. Unfortunately, his facts were not accurate. FCC is unable to provide financing for this project as it does not meet our eligibility requirements. Projects that generate revenue from gaming fall outside of our mandate.The Olds Ag Society and FCC have and will continue to have a great working relationship and apologize for any misunderstanding this might have caused.Tami Gardner, Executive Director, Olds Agricultural SocietySharon Eistetter, District Director, Farm Credit Canada
