The WinterLights Committee (in conjunction with the City of Prince George) is making some cash available (up to $1500.00) for local community groups that take part in the in the WinterLights celebration. This is a national competition (call it the winter version of Communities in Bloom) which encourages communities to celebrate "light" with decorative, cultural and spiritual programs.
The competition is also meant to boost tourism opportunities and your pride in your community.
If you are interested in applying for a Community Enhancement Grant with a WinterLights focus, you have to show you will be adding value to the City by hosting an event or a visual display with a winter theme and that you will pay half the cost.
The City has some ideas for projects:
Decorating a neighbourhood with a winter lights theme
o Window decorations in small businesses properties
o Special events organized around a winter theme
o Other ideas welcome!
Grant application deadline is 4:30 pm Friday, November 18th, 2005.
