Canada Day Funding Announcement

City of Kawartha Lakes communities to receive funding for Canada Day events

Kawartha Lakes - The City of Kawartha Lakes will provide a total of $10,000 in Canada Day funding to support five communities in the City of Kawartha Lakes celebrating Canada Day. The funding is in addition to the $27,200 in support received from the Federal government through the Canadian Heritage Celebrate Canada Program.

The following communities will receive funding for their 2018 Canada Day celebrations:

• Lindsay Canada Day Committee
• Bobcaygeon Canada Day Committee
• Fenelon Falls Canada Day Committee
• Kinmount Canada Day Committee
• Omemee Lions Club

The funding will be applied towards the cost of various aspects of these events including fireworks, entertainment, promotional and logistic event related expenses.

The Celebrate Canada program encourages community members of all ages to get together at these planned festivities in your communities and to discover and appreciate the wealth and diversity of Canadian society.

These wonderful community events would not be possible without the generous support of Canadian Heritage’s Celebrate Canada program, the City of Kawartha Lakes and the numerous community members and volunteers who work so hard to provide these events in our communities.
