Culture groups in the dark on provincial funding
The Tri-Cities’ arts and culture groups are wondering what will happen to their funding after the provincial government released new rules for its gaming grants program.
Last week, the province announced changes to funding guidelines, saying grants would go to programs that involve “active youth participation.” Programs where youth are only part of the audience are not eligible, according to the Ministry of Housing and Social Development.
Dan Mattinson of Coastal Sound Music Academy said the group applied for a grant but he isn’t not banking on it.
“Who knows?” he said. “We’ve got our fingers crossed like everyone else.”
