Community Cultural Places Grant
Tourism, Heritage and Culture
Overview
The Community Cultural Places Program is directed at small communities, or communities at risk due to financial or social issues, wishing to take advantage of their existing arts and heritage resources. Across this province there is an array of heritage places and creative talent. These resources can benefit communities, strengthen identity and reinforce pride. This facilitates economic and social development, as well as creates cultural tourism opportunities.
Completed projects will provide cultural venues, community focus, enhanced community pride, identity and welcome visitors.
