The Cudworth artificial ice committee has received a $5,000 grant from the Mosaic Colonsay employee-voted grants program.

"I was ecstatic. I thought it was fantastic," treasurer Barry Regher said.

"We have been asking quite a few corporations for sponsorships for this and they're starting to come through. Mosiac was the first big one and we're hoping that more will come."

Regher said the committee will meet and possibly exceed its goal of raising 25 per cent of the cost of the plant this year.
