VICTORIA– Groups focusing on adult arts and sports, animal welfare and the environment
are encouraged to take advantage of a special community gaming grant
application intake, Ida Chong, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural
Development, announced today. Earlier
this month, Premier Christy Clark announced the Province was increasing its
annual community gaming grant base budget to $135 million – $15 million more
than originally budgeted for 2011-12. As a result, the Province is holding a
special intake between Jan. 16 and Feb. 13 so that previously ineligible groups
can apply for grants this fiscal year.These groups include non-profit and
charitable organizations that deliver services related to adult arts and
culture, adult sports, the environment and animal welfare. Animal shelters, fish and
wildlife associations, lake and stream stewardship societies, district arts
councils, museum societies, theatres and other similar groups are now eligible
to apply online.
