RCMP will be after more city funding to keep a popular youth program running. The Jean Minguy Memorial Youth Academy is a one week work experience program held at the Army camp for regional students, interested in a career in law enforcement. RCMP Superintendent Reg Burgess says in a letter to council, it costs 35-thousand dollars to run the course for 40 cadets. He's asking the city to add an extra 6 thousand dollars to the RCMP budget to support the academy. Burgess says if enough funding can be secured, the students fee could be kept to around 200 dollars. Mounties are also seeking funds from other municipalities, the Mounted Police Association and service clubs.
