The City says it is reopening intake to the program for groups that missed the spring enrollment, with funding available in two streams.

One, Stream A, covers professional services for planning and design, while another covers actual construction, renovation or retrofitting of facilities. The second stream, Stream B, can also fund the purchase of equipment or enhancements to facility technology.

Officials note that projects must be eligible for matching funds and organizations will have to line up additional funding sources to make the project happen. The CCPG is able to cover up to half of the costs for Stream A projects, with a cap set at $25,000 per project. Stream B projects are eligible for up to one-third of the approved expenses, with a maximum of $200,000 per project. Organizations can only apply for funding in one stream per grant cycle.

The deadline to apply for the new intake is July 15, 2024. Further details are at the City of Lethbridge website.
