Funding

Community Board Fund

Funding to support projects that encourage community leadership, self-reliance and the work of volunteers. Also known as Local Grant.

Are you part of a community group that has an idea for an event that will encourage local and regional visitors but need some funding to get it off the ground? We would love to see a full schedule of vibrant and fun activities happening in our district as we rebound from the effects of the Covid-19 lockdowns. These events could be small, medium or large.
