Grants given to 648 tourism organizations in Ontario.
The Ontario government is investing over $46 million to provide grants to 648 non-profit tourism, culture, sport and recreation organizations.
Details were provided today by Heritage Minister Lisa MacLeod.
"Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, our government has been supporting those struggling the most," said Minister MacLeod. "The Community Building Fund was designed with this in mind - to enhance the quality of life for Ontarians and support local jobs. These grants will help non-profit organizations sustain operations - providing funding so they can adapt to the pressures of the pandemic and continue to deliver programming that is critical to the economic and social well-being of communities across the province."
Several local organizations will be receiving grants through the Community Building Fund, including Music Niagara, the Shaw Festival and the Port Colborne Girls Hockey Association.
The fund was created earlier this year, and is administered by the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
