The Community Celebrations Program supports organizations that deliver small civic events organized primarily for the benefit and enjoyment of local residents and are free for the public to attend.
The focus areas include supporting events that are less than five days in duration, held within the geographical boundaries of the municipality, coincide with a community gathering or civic holiday, and are organized by a registered non-profit society.
The program provides a maximum grant of $1,000 to eligible organizations to encourage civic engagement and community participation.
This program offers one intake per year and funds programming, operating, marketing, and promotional expenses related to eligible events. However, grant funds cannot be used for staff wages, volunteer bursaries, honoraria, or payments made directly or indirectly to members or officers of an organization’s board of directors.
Through the Community Celebrations Program, local organizations are empowered to host inclusive, accessible, and vibrant events that strengthen community ties and celebrate civic pride.
