Over 15,000 pounds of oats are being given to Peace Country residents in upcoming weeks, as part of an initiative to promote the health values of eating oats.
The initiative has been undertaken by POGA, Peace Region Economic Development Alliance (PREDA), Grain Millers, M.D. of Spirit River, and Save-On Foods. The combined efforts of POGA, Save-On Foods, and Grain Millers has allowed for oats to be produced, packaged, and shipped to the participating communities.
