IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING 2021 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUND PROGRAM APPLICATION PROCESS
Due to COVID 19, many organizations had to cancel or postpone their event for 2020 which may have been supported through an allocation from this program. There is still much uncertainty with respect to public gatherings and how this may impact these projects or events moving forward. On September 16, 2020 - Council approved a motion that would allow an extension to these organizations to use this same allocation towards the same event in 2021 and therefore would eliminate the need to reapply through the submission process. ** This only applies to applicants that received a letter from the Municipality dated February 2020 - outlining the approved allocation and the event was subsequently cancelled or postponed**
If your organization received funding in 2020 but your event and/or project was unable to take place due COVID 19 - Please call or email the Clerk before filling out a new application under the 2021 Program as it may qualify for this extension provision.
All other organizations considering projects and/or events for 2021 should apply as usual through the program - Deadline is November 30th at 12:00 noon - NO EXCEPTIONS
If you submit by email it is your responsibility to receive a notification acknowledging the submission was received by the Clerk's Office in advance of the deadline.
