The City of Victoria will provide nearly $400,000 in grants to dozens of festivals and celebrations this year, including $50,000 for a Canada Day event.
The grant for the July 1 holiday was the largest of 46 grants announced by the city Wednesday. The city awarded the grant to Penmar Community Arts Society to produce a "large-scale Inner Harbour celebration" as part of a pilot project to "support community-led programming" on Canada Day.
"This year, the Festival Investment Grant program had a record number of applications from local non-profit organizations," Victoria Mayor Marianne Alto said in a news release Wednesday. Victoria's festival grant program has invested more than $4 million in non-profit groups since its inception 24 years ago, according to the city.
