COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Contributing to our community.
We are continuously looking for ways to assist Community Economic Development (CED) in Kawartha Lakes.
Small grants are available to help get a new idea going, support an activity/event, or simply assist a community or group in getting something done. CED funds provide assistance for raising awareness of projects, events, attractions and services that will impact our community.
“Thank you for the enormous contribution to our music program. With your support, we were able to hire a qualified music instructor to run a successful music program, even during the pandemic. The program engaged a number of youth and set a path for music programming to continue annually at the Club. We are so grateful for all the support from your Team throughout the duration of this project. Thanks for making this program a reality.”
