KELOWNA — The City of Kelowna is accepting applications until Dec. 7 for two grants of up to $10,000 each for non-profit arts, culture and heritage organizations.
The Cultural Project Grant supports public festivals, events and other arts, culture or heritage projects. The General Operating Grant helps eligible organizations cover ongoing operating costs. According to the city, operating funding cannot be used for start-ups, events or capital projects.
Applications for the 2027 funding cycle opened Oct. 5. Organizations can apply through the city's online grants portal. Previous grant recipients must complete required funding reports before applying again. The city's Cultural Project Grant notice says apply before 3 p.m. Dec. 7, although its general calendar lists 4 p.m. General Operating Grant applications close at 4 p.m.
The sidewalk on the east side of Washington Street beside the Steamshovel is scheduled to close November 3–6 during construction on a neighbouring building, according to the City of Rossland.
