Community Grant Program

The purpose of the City's Community Grant Program is to strengthen our sense of community by enhancing Economic Development, Social Services, Arts and Culture, and Community Pride/Sense of Place through partnerships with local nonprofits to administer events, services, activities, and purchases more efficiently and economically than otherwise possible through the municipal corporation.

The Community Grant program is guided by Council Policy 28 - Community Grants (PDF).

If you have questions about this program, please contact Kelly Purvis via email. 

The FY2022-23 Program is closed. Congratulations to our grant recipients:
