My Great Neighbourhood Grants

My Great Neighbourhood Grant projects are all about building community. The program provides residents with funding for initiatives that develop and enhance a sense of community in their neighbourhood. 

The City grants up to $7,500 for placemaking and community resilience projects and up to $1,500 for events and activities. The community must match the funding through volunteer hours and/or other funding and in-kind donations. Community involvement is an important part of each approved project.
