Golden: Province to support community festivals
The Province of British Columbia will be granting $3 million to be given to more than 150 communities across the province.
In support of arts and cultural festivals, a community can be provided with up to $50,000 (dependent on the size of community) which will be used towards community festivals in February for the celebration of the anniversary of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
The BC Spirits Festival program falls under the 2010 Sports and Art Legacy and is the first arts program that has been announced thus far. This legacy is designed to grant $30 million over the course of three years towards different art and cultural projects which affect British Columbians.
Golden will be applying for a share of the $3 million.
“For us it’s a really nice fit,” Executive Director of Kicking Horse Culture, Bill Usher, says. “We already have the masque parade which is in February. We will keep on doing that, but with extra support.”
