I’m very pleased to let you know that we were informed today that we were successful in our application to the Ministry of Tourism and Culture’s Creative Communities Prosperity Fund. The grant amount we have received is $70,000, which will allow us to undertake a comprehensive Cultural Mapping project.
In particular, I’d like to recognize the work of Astero Kalogeropoulos, our Arts and Culture Program Officer, and commend her on the grant application. She was singularly responsible for pulling together this grant application under a very tight timeline, and we were successful in our request because of her extremely hard work.
I’d also like to note the contributions of Peter Cartwright from Economic Development, Anne MacKay of the Guelph Arts Council and Lloyd Longfield from the Chamber of Commerce, whose letters of support and commitments to in-kind and financial support towards this project were critical to our application.
