Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks last week sent an email to a wide cross-section of constituents informing them of funding opportunities related to this upcoming year’s Canada Day celebrations.

Celebrate Canada is an 11-day celebration that takes place from June 21 to July 1, and the deadline to apply is January 15, 2014, the email noted.

Canadian Heritage provides financial support for activities organized during the Celebrate Canada period. These activities celebrate National Aboriginal Day on June 21, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day on June 24, Canadian Multiculturalism Day on June 27 and Canada Day on July 1.

Eligible recipients for funding include Canadian not-for-profit organizations, unincorporated associations, Canadian businesses organizing projects of a non-commercial nature, Canadian educational institutions and municipal governments, and other municipal, provincial or territorial institutions.

The funding application form and detailed information about application requirements and eligible expenses are available on the Celebrate Canada http://www.pch.gc.ca/eng/1292265603193 website.
