Deadline: 12-Dec-2025
The City of North Bay is offering a fresh opportunity for community groups, event organisers and local businesses to access sponsorship funding through its Event Hosting Program.
This initiative is designed to support non-profit events held within the city limits that demonstrate strong community impact, involve partnerships and help promote North Bay as a vibrant destination.
Applicants may receive assistance to cover expenses such as facility rental, permits, road closures and other event-related costs, enabling them to bring new or growing events to life. Priority is given to events that are innovative or expanding, as well as those that emphasise building connections and outreach in the local community rather than recurring annual events in the same format.
To apply, interested individuals or organisations must submit an application through the city’s Arts, Culture & Recreation Department by the stated deadline. The evaluation process is managed by a review committee comprised of representatives from the city’s tourism, community development and chamber of commerce sectors. Approved events receive a confirmation letter outlining next steps and a requirement to publicly acknowledge the city’s sponsorship and provide a post-event report covering attendance, outreach and media coverage.
This programme provides a meaningful pathway for local event-makers to access financial support, generate greater community engagement, and enhance the city’s cultural or sporting calendar. If you’re planning an event that will draw people together, elevate North Bay’s profile and deliver a tangible social benefit, this is a compelling opportunity to consider.
