On July 1, 2017, Canada celebrated a major milestone in our country’s history, the 150th anniversary of the Confederation of Canada.
The province launched three new one-time, project-based programs to engage Ontarians and commemorate the 150th anniversary of Ontario throughout 2017:
The Ontario 150 Community Capital Program — a $25 million fund to renovate, repair and retrofit existing community and cultural infrastructure to increase access, improve safety and maximize community use (application period opens July 18 and closes September 14, 2016);
The Ontario 150 Partnership Program — a $5 million program to support new partnerships and collaborations that engage, enable and empower youth as the next generation of Ontario leaders (application period opened July 6 and closes September 30, 2016);
And the Ontario 150 Community Celebration Program —a $7 million fund to help communities celebrate this historic year (application period opened July 6 and closes September 2, 2016).
