The important thing to understand is that saving all the cats means finding the right outcome for every cat, even if that means never taking them to the shelter. The Million Cat Challenge is a national project to help save the lives of cats across the nation. This life-saving campaign has over 6 years of documented success through their 5 key initiatives. GFAS has taken steps to successfully implement these initiatives and will continue to work to find the right outcome for all the cats.
To learn more about the 5 key initiatives and what GFAS has done on each of them, visit the GFAS Million Cat Challenge page.
Yes! The City’s Park and Recreation Dept. takes tree planting requests for the Boulevard District. Trees have been chosen and planted for 2025 already. However, residents can make a request, and the City Forester will take of it next spring. Or, residents can be issued a free tree planting permit. The City Forester will help them select a tree and location, and the City will reimburse 90% of the tree cost.

While it would be possible to remove all fluoride from city water, the cost burden placed on taxpayers to accomplish this would be quite large. The fluoride level present in our city water is far below levels considered unhealthy. The average fluoride concentration in the Missouri River is 1.2 mg/L. The fluoride concentration in city drinking water is 0.7 mg/L, while a concentration higher than 4.0 mg/L is considered unsafe by the EPA. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that’s found in almost all water and soil.

In September of 2020, in conjunction with Malmstrom Air Force Base, the City of Great Falls was awarded a $10 million dollar Department of Defense Community Infrastructure Program (DCIP) grant to fund a new Recreation Center. The new facility will cost $20 million dollars. The City will match the $10 million dollar grant by bonding to use a portion of the Park District Number 1 assessments. Construction of the new facility will begin in September of 2021 and the construction timeline estimates completion of the facility by the Spring 2024.
