Description
PURPOSE:
To act as a place holder to support activities to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday should the requested grant funding be denied.
APPROVAL DEFERRED PENDING RESULT OF CANADA 150 CELEBRATION GRANT APPLICATION
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
An Ad Hoc committee was formed to develop a plan for Aurora to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday in 2017. The committee came
up with a number of suggestions and the list was narrowed down to four activities, a military tattoo, a Pow Wow, a special legacy
feature and Family First Night fireworks display. A grant submission has been made to the Canada 150 Fund (federal) and the
Ontario 150 Celebration (provincial) to fund these events to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday next year. Both grant applications
have been submitted but we will not hear if we are successful until after the budget process is complete for 2017.
Should we be successful in our grant application for any or all of the money requested, the requested money will be returned.
This project was not included in the 2016 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.
