The Ionic Lodge is helping a local singer get to Italy, as Dante Bacchetto is the recipient of $500.
Bacchetto is a Grade 11 student at North Battleford Comprehensive High School. Bacchetto was chosen as one of 40 singers to be part of the National Boychoir of Canada. The choir will perform in Newfoundland and in Italy.
Don Finan, with the Ionic Lodge, said the organization has helped a number of local students over the years with scholarships.
Finan said the Masons have also donated funding toward the Battlefords Highland Dancing Association and Taylor Raiche, among others.
