Through the Local Activation Grant program, the City will provide up to $15,000 in funding to support events, arts and culture, and other community or business-led activity with a public outcome. Projects should have an inclusive and widespread appeal, attract additional visitation, champion sustainability measures, and support opportunities for local businesses to stimulate economic growth. +This year, the City will be favouring applications that complement City led events, and amplify activity at those times. While not mandatory, applicants are encouraged to consider projects that occur at the same time and in close proximity to events outlined in the City’s Events Plan 2023/2024.
