The City of Fort St. John has identified six initiatives that will be funded through the Building Safer Communities Fund. The Recreation, Arts, and Culture Access Grants is one of these initiatives and will receive $10,000
annually over the next three fiscal years.

 

The Recreation, Arts, and Culture Access Grant will facilitate access for youth at risk to recreation programs with the intention that funded activities support pro-social activities and peer interactions. This grant program does not
include fees related to youth participation in organized sports as there are currently several available options for funding in the community. Instead, this grant program will support activities that promote participation in other
forms of recreation (e.g., dance, music, theatre, fine arts, etc.). Youth at risk aged between 8 and 17 are eligible.


Examples of possible funding applications that would be supported through this grant include:
 • Payment of tuition/fees for youth to access a specific recreational or arts/culture based programs or classes (eg. music, painting, cultural arts)

 • The planning and delivery of specific arts, culture, and recreation programs for youth at risk


Applicant Eligibility
Non-profit organizations, societies, collectives and schools that work with youth at risk between the ages of 8 and 17 are invited to apply for funding under the grant installment.
