Deadline: 21-Feb-25
Submissions are now open for the Capstone Activation Fund Program to encourage community groups and event organizers to bring events and activation ideas into Capstone in exchange for support and financial assistance.
Objectives
- The projects supported by this program should amplify one or more of the objectives of the Capstone Activation Fund:
- Let’s get together and go to the river: Capstone connects the river to Red Deer, and they’re working to make it a city gathering place for everyone.
- Let’s be active and feel good: From the riverfront location, well-being is at the heart of the community and they’re creating opportunities to make active living part of every day.
- Let’s innovate and live in new ways: They’re living and working in new ways to help Capstone attract the next generation of Red Deer residents, business owners and doers.
- Let’s think culture and keep learning: Capstone considers culture a part of everyday life. They celebrate the richness it brings and opportunities it provides to learn something new
