Prince George BC – Brandt Tractor Ltd on Great Street in Prince George was much like Santa this afternoon  giving out a couple of very nice gifts.

As part of the company’s”Thanks  a Billion ” program which gives back to the communities in which it has operations.

Today two cheques were handed out by Brandt Branch Manager Lyle Dukacz.

One was for $5 thousand dollars to the Hart Highlands Ski Hill.  That money will help the ski hill stay operating in the wake of lost gaming grants.

The other  was for $500 dollars to Operation Red Nose.  Those dollars will be put towards youth and youth sport programs in Prime George.
