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 seven communities in the City of Kawartha Lakes celebrating Canada Day. The funding is in addition to the $33,000.00 in support received from the Federal government through the Canadian Heritage Celebrate Canada Program.

The following communities will receive funding for their 2022 Canada Day celebrations:

• Lindsay Canada Day Committee
• Bobcaygeon Canada Day Committee
• Fenelon Falls Canada Day Committee
• Kinmount Community Centre Volunteer Management Board
• Omemee & District Lions Club
• Little Britain Community Association
• Kawartha Lakes Fire Station 17 – Norland

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 provides funding for community events across Canada and enables the opportunities for Canadians to participate in community events, that are open to the public and free of charge to get together to celebrate and take pride in Canadian heritage.

In addition to the funding support, these community events would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of numerous community members and volunteers who dedicate so much time and effort to provide these community celebrations.
