Major celebrations are large single and multi-day events at a regional scale - events and festivals that present a significant program of cultural activities and entertainments and that serve a regional audience from around the North Shore, metro Vancouver and farther afield.
Grants are available up to a maximum of $12,500 (for one-day events) and $17,500 (for multi-day events) or up to 30% of the proposed event budget. Matching funds can be a combination of cash and in-kind contributions. In-kind contributions are limited to 20% of the overall budget. At the recommendation of the grants committee, grant awards may be approved for up to three (3) years.
